At ADSS we don't just support people with dementia, we also support the professionals who care for them.
Join a team that cares for you!
The Dementia Peer Support Group provides a safe, respectful, and empowering space for people living with dementia to come together, share experiences, build confidence, and offer mutual support.
Unlike mixed groups that include carers, this group is designed solely for people living with dementia. It creates an opportunity for open conversation, shared understanding, and peer connection in an environment that promotes independence, dignity, and voice.
As a Volunteer, you will support the facilitation of the group by helping to create a calm, inclusive, and encouraging atmosphere. You will assist participants to engage in discussion and activities, while being sensitive to communication differences, confidence levels, and individual needs.
You will be part of a team that recognises and upholds the rights of people living with dementia to be heard, respected, and actively involved in decisions and conversations about their lives.
