Malton Wellbeing Volunteers

Dementia Forward is launching two new services in the Ryedale Area. We are opening a Brain Health Cafe for people who are concerned about memory problems and looking for ways to improve their brain health and wellbeing. We are also opening a day service for people living with dementia, which will offer a full day of activities in a safe, supportive environment. We are looking for volunteers to support both of these groups, through welcoming people, supporting with activities, chatting and listening and helping serve refreshments.
