Forget-Me-Not volunteers provide social interaction and engagement for patients living with dementia, supporting staff, carers and families to make hospital stays more warm, friendly and positive.

The role

Unfamiliar environments and ill health can make hospital visits particularly challenging moments for people living with dementia. A couple of hours of your time to regularly visit the hospital to talk, reassure, reminisce and chat to patients can be transformative. Forget-Me-Not volunteers support staff to provide companionship and engagement for patients with dementia.
