What is Alcester Day Care?
Alcester Day Care supports people with dementia and their carers.

We open to clients from 9.30-3.30 but volunteers are expected to be present for morning or afternoon sessions which are 9.15 – 12.30 and 1.30 to 3.45

What will I have to do?
There is always a variety of jobs on offer…..
• setting up the tea and coffee, biscuits and cakes
• making the drinks on request
• clearing up (there is a dishwasher) and leaving the kitchen in a tidy state
• greeting clients / carers as they arrive
• helping clients with their coats etc
• guiding clients to where they would like to sit.
• chatting with clients, playing games etc.

The important thing is to be aware that everyone is welcomed, that no one is left alone and to make sure everyone enjoys the day.

Commitment

A minimum of 1 session once a month is the norm although you can come along to help at as many sessions as you want! Let us know your availability/preferences .

Rotas are drawn up  monthly in advance and if you can’t make one then you can swap with someone else.
