Events and Services
Dementia Befriending Service:
Dementia can be tremendously isolating for the person who has the illness. The One Place East dementia befriending service can help.
One Place East 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:
One Place East are currently looking to recruit volunteers for their befriending service. The aim of the scheme is to offer support for those adults who are experiencing mental or emotional distress, living in the London Borough of Redbridge.
The role of the volunteer is to offer 1-1 support to reduce the isolation of people with dementia. Experience is not essential as One Place East will provide training.
They ask for a minimum of 6 months commitment for approximately 3 hours per week.
