Why we want you
People consistently tell us that meeting others living with Parkinson's is the most important support they want locally. Volunteers run Parkinson's cafes to provide an informal way of doing just that for a couple of hours each week.
What you will be doing
- Ensure the cafe gathering takes place on a set day and time, and that those attending are warmly welcomed
- Work with the chosen venue effectively, which could include activities such as ordering, making and serving refreshments, or organising a raffle on the day
- Provide updates and feedback to relevant Parkinson's UK staff members about how the cafe session are going
- With other volunteers, think of creative ways to add interest and value to the cafe sessions, such as arranging visits from relevant local health professionals
The skills you need
- Warm and friendly; you'll be a good communicator, open to working and interacting with a range of people
- Patient and empathetic, in order to deal with sensitive issues and topics
