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 at Aylesbury Carer Support Group, you’ll support and encourage people caring for a person with dementia to engage in a peer support group setting. A friendly face at the group, you’ll welcome and talk to carers 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.
