:::EVENTS & SERVICES:::
Dementia Befriending Service:
Dementia can be tremendously isolating for the person who has the illness. Our dementia befriending service can help. We can offer 1:1 support to help ensure the person can continue to pursue activities they enjoy and have company to help reduce feelings of isolation and stress. This can provide support for carers as well.
Volunteering Roles:
We are currently looking to recruit volunteers for our befriending service. The role of the volunteer is to offer 1-1 support to reduce the isolation of people with dementia. Experience is not essential as we will provide training. We ask for a minimum of 6 months commitment for approximately 3 hours per week.
