About this role
Make Someone’s Week – Join Our Volunteer Team!
Social volunteering with people living with dementia is all about kindness, patience, and connection. By taking the time to listen, going at their pace, and meeting them where they are, volunteers can help residents feel comfortable, valued, and included. Often, it's the simple things, a friendly chat, a shared smile, or sitting together, that help someone feel connected and brighten their day.
As a Social Visitor, you’ll spend time one‑on‑one or in small groups, creating genuine connection and heartfelt moments that brighten the day for residents… and often for you too.
Whether you’re into sports, art, gardening, pets, baking, yoga, music, movies, or simply enjoying a chat over coffee —there’s someone who would love to share that moment with you.
Your impact
Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
