Help provide social and emotional support in a friendly and informal way to Carers at their monthly meeting in Yeovil.
The Carers Group gives people who look after friends and family members the opportunity to take a much needed break, socialise with other carers, share experiences, laugh, cry and find out how to access local information, resources, and other sources of support. Alongside this, we run a seated activity group for the people they care for meeting on the second Tuesday of the month mid morning.
We need a volunteer to work with the group leader with support from Spark and other volunteers. Key roles include
- Welcoming Carers as they arrive, reducing any first time nerves.
- Supporting the meeting.
- Enabling Carers to speak to each other and ask for ideas.
- Working with existing team members
- Supporting those using the exercise group to enter the studio.
- Joining in and supporting gentle uptake of the activity respecting diversity of ability.
- Undertaking initial online training and face to face occasional meetings.
