Group Support Volunteer -Mitcham

If you love meeting new people and want to support people affected by dementia in your area, then we may have just the volunteer role for you!

As a Group Support Volunteer, you'll support and encourage people affected by dementia to engage in activities and socialise with others in a group setting. A friendly face at the group, you'll welcome and talk to people affected by dementia to help them feel comfortable and make sure they're offered refreshments. You'll also help set up and tidy away at the end of the group.

Your involvement in this role will ensure people affected by dementia are able to meet others in a similar situation, access the support and information they need and enjoy meaningful activities.

We have a weekly Sports & Social group which takes place on a Thursday afternoon at the Merton Memory Hub in Mitcham CR4 4AB. Facilitated by AFC Wimbledon, there are indoor sports like bowls and curling to get involved with. We are looking for a volunteer to come and support our players and join in the fun!
