We are seeking volunteers to come and support our day club members who are older people from the local area living with mild/moderate Dementia. This role involves helping to set up chairs and tables and supporting our members to engage with a variety of activities. Activities include puzzles, board games, craft activities, music and movement, day trips, baking plus more. If you have a flair for any of the above and you can spare a minimum of five hours we would love to hear from you.
