💙 Day 6 – Volunteers’ Week
A Day in the Life…
This Volunteers’ Week, we’re shining a spotlight on Claire, a Dementia Support volunteer at Sybil’s - our SPECAL-led day service for people living with dementia and their carers.
Claire starts her day helping the team prepare activities and refreshments before warmly welcoming our friends as they arrive. Throughout the morning, she spends meaningful one-to-one time chatting about familiar topics, offering reassurance, and helping everyone feel relaxed and included.
At lunchtime, everyone comes together to share a meal - an important part of the day that brings conversation, connection and a real sense of community 💙
In the afternoon, activities vary depending on the day. This might include time in the garden - either getting involved with light gardening or simply enjoying the fresh air - or joining in with a singalong around the piano, often filled with laughter and favourite songs.
💬 “It’s incredibly rewarding. There is so much joy and laughter at Sybil’s. I can see every day the difference it makes to people’s lives.” ❤️
Thank you, Claire, for your kindness, dedication, and the difference you make every single week. ✨
