Our day club volunteers provide direct support to members at our award-winning dementia day club in Warminster. 

The Old Silk Works is an activity based club where up to 12 members each day, are helped to pursue their own interests and maintain social skills in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.  Our members are mostly in the early to mid stages of dementia, and include younger people with early-onset forms of the illness.   

Volunteers are a vital part of the club day welcoming members, supporting them in activities like a game of scrabble, engaging them in conversations,  sometimes helping with preparing/serving refreshments during the day. We are looking for someone who can come in on the same day each week if possible.  

We currently need volunteers on Monday or Friday. 10am - 3pm,  each week.   

This is an extremely rewarding role with ongoing support and training in dementia awareness provided.    

This role requires an initial meeting with the Volunteer Manager,  two references and a DBS check.   

To apply please complete our volunteer sign-up  form  or  phone 01985 624005
