Volunteering

Dementia Canterbury

I volunteer as a companion to clients with dementia once a week for 1-2 hours. My role for this is keeping clients company in many ways such as chatting, going for walks, going to cafes and anything else they want to do with our time together. I strive to improve my clients day and life by being there for them as well as the families who may need a break.
