About The Role

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.

We have two musical groups that you can choose from (please state which one, or both on your application)

Sing & Sway

Meets from 1.30pm - 3.30pm every 3rd Monday of the month

Meeting Location - DE73 6TD

Musical Memories

Meets from 10.30pm - 12.30pm every 4th Monday of the month

Meeting Location - DE22 1AY

As a Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer, you’ll be welcoming and talking to people with dementia, helping them to feel at ease. You will help set up the room and tidy away at the end of the session and help prepare and distribute refreshments as well as supporting the session facilitator by distributing materials such as songbooks. 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.

You’ll be great for the role if:

You have an interest in developing meaningful relationships and making a real difference.
You want to enable people with dementia to find their voice through music in an incredibly rewarding role.
You are fun and enthusiastic.
You have the ability to listen and display compassion.
If you are supporting our virtual sessions, you will need to be able to navigate effectively online and be able to use Zoom with confidence.
Experience of dementia is not essential, nor is the ability to sing!

If you find completing online applications difficult, please don't let this stop you from applying....please call or email us and we can support you with the application process. You can contact the Volunteering Recruitment Team by emailing [email protected] or call on 0300 222 5706
