Social Support Volunteering
Social Support Volunteers play an important role in enhancing the lives of people living with dementia by helping them stay socially connected, active, engaged and involved in their communities.
Under the professional direction, guidance and support of Dementia Australia staff, volunteers contribute to the delivery of social support programs and activities that promote wellbeing, independence and meaningful social connections.
The aim of these programs is to provide opportunities for people living with dementia to connect with others in similar circumstances, build friendships, reduce social isolation and maintain a sense of belonging within their community.
Social Support Programs may include a variety of activities, such as arts and crafts, carpentry, coffee and chat sessions, walking groups, men's shed activities and the Memory Lane Café program.
