Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer

Our Singing for the Brain sessions offer people affected by dementia a chance to enjoy a fun activity within a supportive environment, but we need you to help make this happen!

Singing for the Brain is a structured group session, designed around the principles of music therapy and singing, for people with dementia, who may attend alone or with a carer. These uplifting sessions offer the people attending an enjoyable activity, as well as the chance to socialise with other people affected by dementia.

As a Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer, you'll be welcoming and talking to people with dementia, helping them to feel at ease. Once the singing session starts, you'll provide encouragement to participate in the activity, and support the session facilitator with the activities, either online or in person.

This is a weekly volunteering opportunity to support our Singing for the Brain group that meets every Tuesday in Padiham, Burnley from 12.45pm - 3pm.
