Summary
The project supports people living with dementia to enjoy 1-2-1 befriending, provide companionship within their home, or attend one of our dementia wellbeing cafes.
Description
The Dementia project provides one to one befriending for people living with dementia, offering companionship at home or support to acces their community. It also gives vital respite to unpaid carers. Additionally, the dementia wellbeing cafes offer a welcoming space for those with dementia and their loved ones to enjoy soical activities, entertainment and connection over a game of pool, a cuppa and a chat.
We appreciate the volunteers giving up their time to provide support, however we would like them better equipped for their role. The money would be used to provide volunteers with first aid kits in their cars, for when they are taking people out. It would also pay for lanyards and name badges for the volunteers to wear when they are volunteering.
