Working towards a dementia-
friendly community
Reconnect Social Group
Have you thought about your
NEW YEAR’S Resolutions?
What about volunteering a few hours a month, to sup-
port our recently formed and very successful Bramp-
ton Dementia Friendly Community.....?
We are
urgently
in need of help from someone with
some level of IT knowledge to develop creative adverts
and provide copy support for our Marketing and Public
Relations efforts. (Creating posters in different publish-
ing file formats to a deadline.)
We are also looking for volunteers to support growing
efforts with the village for the following activities:
•
Reconnect Social Group
Dementia Friendly Café - monthly.
•
Love to Move
Chair based exercise group - weekly.
•
Singing Together
Dementia Friendly Choir - monthly.
You don't need any formal training or qualifications -
just a desire to help those in our community living with
dementia.
If you would like to discuss further to see if this would
be a good fit for you please contact
