STAND ( Striving Towards a New Day) is seeking enthusiastic and committed volunteers to join in its work supporting people living with dementia in Fife.
STAND is a charity which operates across Fife and provides Dementia Friendly Meeting Centre Spaces across Fife each week to provide peer support for people living with mild to moderate dementia and their carers or supporters.
Volunteering for STAND is rewarding and offers opportunities to support members in art, music and storytelling workshops. Volunteers assist STAND Facilitators in weekly meetings and help members at the meetings to engage, participate and have fun.
