LEAP is launching Wednesday Lunch Club, a new friendship group specifically for people diagnosed with dementia and their carers at Clydeford View in Cambuslang. The group will run on the first and third Wednesday of the month at 12 Noon until 2.00 pm.
The group will run for two hours with:
• a light lunch for everyone to help settle into the group;
• an activity in the main room;
• a separate carer’s activity or information session in a different room; and
• a closing get together to chat about the week’s activities.

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are keen to help. The club is an opportunity to help reduce loneliness and isolation, for carers to socialise and get useful information and for people diagnosed with dementia to get involved in their community and take part in activities.
There are lots of volunteering opportunities connected with his group including:
• making and serving lunch to the members;
• leading or assisting members with the activities;
• socialising with our members; and
• setting up and clearing away.
We are also looking for volunteer drivers to help assist taking our members to and from the group.
In return, we will provide appropriate training and regular supervision sessions with the Dementia Services Development Officer, invitations to volunteer events and payment of reasonable expenses.
This is a fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference – all help is greatly appreciated.
