Wellbeing Café Companion (Memory Support Volunteer)

About the Role
We are looking for warm, friendly volunteers to join our Wellbeing Café as Companions, supporting individuals who may be experiencing memory challenges. This is a relaxed and rewarding role focused on creating a welcoming, inclusive environment where people feel comfortable, valued, and engaged.

As a Companion, you’ll spend time chatting with attendees, gently encouraging participation in simple, enjoyable activities such as arts and crafts, colouring, puzzles, and quizzes. Your presence can make a real difference in helping someone feel connected, confident, and uplifted.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Offering friendly conversation and a listening ear
• Supporting individuals to take part in light activities at their own pace
• Encouraging confidence and social interaction in a calm, respectful way
• Helping create a positive and inclusive café atmosphere

Who Would Suit This Role?
This role is ideal for someone who is:

• Kind, patient, and empathetic
• A good listener who enjoys chatting with others
• Calm and reassuring, especially when someone may feel unsure or forgetful
• Creative or happy to get involved in simple activities
• Reliable and able to commit to regular sessions
• Interested in supporting wellbeing and community connection

You don’t need any previous experience—just a genuine desire to support others and make people feel welcome.

Why Volunteer With Us?

• Make a meaningful difference in your community
• Meet new people and build connections
• Gain valuable experience in a supportive setting
• Be part of a friendly and welcoming team

If you enjoy spending time with others and want to help create moments of joy and connection, we’d love to hear from you.
