Call For Volunteers
W
who’s been diagnosed with dementia or has symptoms of cognitive impairment and who would enjoy some relaxing social interaction. A supportive and caring community is very important to men and women living with dementia whether it’s Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia or any of the other less well known forms of dementia.
Newport Pagnell already has groups which support Carers but has nothing for those experiencing dementia themselves. Our target audience is those living in their own homes and managing with only intermittent support.
Starting in February 2015, the memory club will meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday afternoons each month, from 2.30-4pm, at The Brooklands centre. The club will offer
memory assistance techniques and group activities to build enjoyment and confidence and help keep each member as a valued functioning resident of the community for as long as possible. Refreshments will also be served.
We are actively seeking volunteers now so references can be taken up and DBS checks made, and training will be provided before the memory club starts up. Training will include information about dementia, safeguarding, health and safety, etc. Volunteers will be required from 2-4.30pm on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays, to assist with setting up in advance, to run sessions and activities, to support members, provide refreshments....men as well as ladies please. If you are interested in joining in this new venture, please contact hazel_ reynolds@hotmail.co.uk
We do need your help to enable this new initiative to succeed.
ith the support of the Parish Church, we are establishing a new
‘memory club’ for anybody
