We're seeking friendly men and women to help out at our Muddy Boots group for people living with dementia and family carers. An uplifting and rewarding way to spend time enjoying the great outdoors.
The group meets on the 2nd and 4th Monday mornings of the month at Kennet Valley Hall, Lockeridge from 10.30am - 12pm with some meetings taking place 'on location' at friendly farms in East Wiltshire. We enjoy outings as a group to local gardens with recent trips including Avebury Manor Gardens and sculpture trail and Bowood House and Gardens - always a treat!
Our volunteers will help to set up the room, provide a friendly welcome to members, serve refreshments and most importantly join in the activity, supporting members and family carers to get the most out of the session. A member of Alzheimer's Support staff is present as a facilitator at all our groups.
We offer you training in dementia awareness and provide on-going support to our volunteer team
Please note the group start time is 10am, however, volunteers arrive earlier (exact time to be specified by the group organiser) to prepare the venue and refreshments etc.
Initally we would like you to meet with our volunteer manager Annie Clayton and complete volunteering forms. We do ask that you provide contact information for two referees, who are not family members and have known you for at least two years.
Interested?
Then please complete our volunteer sign-up form or phone 01985 624 005
