We are launching a new Dementia Friendship and Support Group in Gosport Shortly for anyone living with dementia/Alzhiemer's and their loved ones/carers.
The group will have activities, discussions, entertainment and anything in between, plus a breakout session for the carers.
We aim to forge friendships with all those who attend the sessions twice a month initially and provide a safe and welcoming place where they can be themselves, make new friends and have some fun.
Our volunteers will be part of the group and whether sitting and chatting with the carers or helping with the activities, you are very welcome to come and join our small team of volunteers.
What skills do I need?
We are looking for men and women to come and join our team of volunteers and be themselves.
Do you like talking to strangers so that they start as a stranger and leave as a friend?
Our service users maybe veterans or someone in their family has served and by listening you will learn about their time in the forces and by being a good listener they will share memories of their past and indeed create new memories with you.
Enjoy taking part in different activities and reminiscing sessions.
Good communication skills, commitment to attend sessions, willingness to learn new skills.
