The Creative Art volunteer will work with patients either in a small group or one-to-one to help with memory box work or do some recording of patient personal stories they can give to their families.
The Wellbeing Centre (WBC) is for individuals who have a life limiting illness who are currently independent but require support and skills to live their lives to the full. We run various support groups with the aim to increase self-esteem, confidence, low mood, improve symptoms to name a few. The individuals who attend are from a mix of ages and have various conditions, not just cancer. We would value any student who wants to utilise their artistic skills and learn some communication skills too.
