Volunteers tell us they get a great deal from volunteering with us

We have a variety of roles available:

The Hub on the Hill is going to be opening, once a month, the “Memory Lane” Café for individuals who care for or experience the effects of Dementia. In doing so we are looking for members of the local community who can volunteer their time to support this new venture. Are you interested? If so ask yourself these questions:

- Do you want to support the Hub on the Hill, and get involved in community projects?

- Do you have a few spare hours once a month on a Tuesday between the hours of 10.00 and 12.30pm

- Do you have experience, or have supported individuals with Dementia in the past, or are just interested in making a difference to someone’s life living with Dementia or caring for someone with Dementia  

- Do you have any hidden talents, such as arts and crafts, singing, story telling and knowledge of the local area?

If you have answered YES to any of these questions, we would really like to hear from you.
