Dementia Support Volunteer (Eastleigh)

We are looking for volunteers to help run our Dementia Support Group in the Eastleigh Area.

The group is for Veterans Living with Dementia and others living with Dementia and their carers. We provide a space where those living with Dementia can engage in interaction and activities with others living with dementia.
