Support people living with dementia to engage in meaningful group activities. Help create a welcoming, inclusive environment through social connection, conversation, and creativity.
As a Dementia Activity Group Volunteer, you will help deliver structured group sessions for people living with dementia in community settings. Your role will involve:
- Greeting attendees warmly and helping them settle in
- Offering drinks and friendly conversation
- Supporting group members to participate in activities

- Leading a small activity or helping with themed sessions, if interested

Each session is designed around Cognitive Stimulation Therapy principles and aims to provide mental stimulation, social engagement, and joy.
