VOLUNTEERS are wanted in Harwich for a service to help people with dementia get out and about as well as enjoying old or new activities.
‘Side by Side Essex’, provided by the Alzheimer’s Society, is a service for people with dementia only which involves weekly meet ups mutually arranged by both the volunteers and the person with dementia.
Volunteers can take people to a football game, or to the cinema, or jogging around the park with people - with current hobbies as well as trying new ones suggested.
If you're looking to volunteer, please feel free to email sbsessex@alzheimers.org.uk or call 0333 150 3456 for more details.
