Alzheimer’s Society Peterborough provides a range of services and activities for people with dementia, their families and their carers. Many of these take place in person at their Dementia Resource Centre. Volunteers are a key part of this work.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Society can help improve your skills,
- help you feel part of a team, and
- help you meet new people
“If I can help others to change their attitudes towards dementia and see ways in which they can help, then it is all worth my time.”
