Can you help? Tasks we need help with
Welcoming members to the group and assisting them, if needed.
Participating in group activity.
Preparing and serving refreshments
Helping with setting up/putting away chairs and tables.
Experience of working or volunteering with older people, who may have dementia or other varying health needs, would be useful but not essential.
Volunteers need to have good interpersonal skills and non-judgemental attitudes, be able to keep information confidential and be attentive to the needs of members and to safety issues, be warm and friendly, enjoy music, dance, chatting, listening and having fun!
sessions would usually take up 2-2.5 hours (maximum) of your time, including help with set up, sessions and clearing up.
sessions run in mornings or afternoons Monday to Friday

Dancing for Well-Being groups are ideal for older people with mobility or health problems who find other dance or exercise classes too strenuous or challenging. You can dance SITTING or STANDING, you can move at your level, you don't need a partner and you don't need a good memory.
Dancing for Well-Being is safe and gentle, it's great for company and friendship, it's relaxing and uplifting, but most important of all it's FUN!
