Volunteer Artist, Musician or Performer
What does the role involve?
We are looking for volunteers who are artists and performers (e.g. poets, dancers, musicians, actors, artists) to deliver a short performance/activity to an older person at home or provide an opportunity for them to participate in an activity.
Many of the clients we support in this service are housebound or do not have the confidence or opportunity to attend events. Some clients are artists and performers who no longer get an opportunity to engage with this aspect of their lives.
Giving people who are living with memory loss an opportunity to be part of creative activities is a stimulating, fun way of putting them in touch with memories, other people and the wider community.
What will you get out of it?
- You will be making a difference to the lives of older people
- A chance to share your talents
- Meeting new people
What is expected of me?
- Deliver performances of approx. 20-30 minutes in a 60-90 minute visit.
- Minimum: 4 - 6 visits a year (You can opt to do more).
Visits will be a time agreed between you and the older person you are matched with.
