Dementia Adviser Service Volunteering Opportunities
Guidebook volunteers
What is Guidebook?
The Guidebook is a simple database that will hold information about relevant services for people with dementia. It will provide accessible printouts of information about local services. The database has been designed by people with dementia, and people with dementia will be providing the information to be held in it. They will do this by meeting regularly to review and add to the local information held on Guidebook.
Guidebook volunteers
Guidebook volunteers ensure that the information about local services is relevant and up to date. Volunteers can choose to do some or all of the following tasks
- Maintaining the Guidebook database
- Ensuring signposting information is concise and clear
- Facilitating a small group of people with dementia to discuss local services
There are three roles to choose from:
Guidebook Information
The Guidebook Information role focuses on supporting a small group of people with dementia to discuss local support services, facilitating the group and assisting the guidebook admin volunteers to ensure they have accurate and appropriate information.
Guidebook Admin
The Guidebook Admin role focuses on ensuring data is accurately entered and updated, ensuring information is clear and succinct and supporting the Guidebook Information Volunteer to maintain the Guidebook database.
Guidebook
The full Guidebook role is a combination of the Guidebook Information and Admin role.
The service operates from dementia adviser centres, which can be memory clinics or Society services.
