DEMENTIA CAFÉ VOLUNTEERS

*The Living Well Project

Dementia is a progressive and debilitating condition affecting not only the person with a diagnosis but the whole family. The Living Well Cafés offer a safe, friendly and welcoming place where people are supported and can spend time participating in optional activities, having fun or just sitting watching others. Music plays a big part at our cafés. This is a great opportunity to help make a real difference in the lives of people living with dementia.

*About this opportunity

We are looking for friendly, enthusiastic and caring volunteers who can help at The Living Well Cafés. We currently have three established cafés – at Brimmond Church, Bucksburn AB21 9SS, Oldmachar Church, Bridge of Don AB22 8PR, and Devana Church, Fonthill Road AB11 6UD. We are looking to reopen the café at Hillside Church, Hilton Drive AB24 4NQ. We are looking for volunteers to be involved with the café at the exciting reopening of the café at Hillside Church.

Dementia Friends training is offered via the Alzheimer Scotland website to anyone with an interest in dementia. No training is necessary - just patience and a caring heart.

For more information about volunteering with us please contact Jeanette Abel on 07512 141818 or Linda Rendall on 07927 541029 or email us at cafe@thelivingwellproject.org.uk

A PVG check is now a legal requirement for this volunteering post (there is no cost to volunteers for this).
