Befriendin­g service

-

WICKLOW Dementia Support is looking for volunteers for ‘AlzPals’, a befriendin­g service for people with dementia.

WDS is a charity operated and staffed by volunteers to help families living with dementia in County Wicklow. Their driving force is to help those with dementia retain as much independen­ce as possible and for them to remain in their homes for as long as possible.

One of the services they provide is a befriendin­g program, AlzPals, whereby we match a volunteer with a person living with dementia for weekly visits. All HSE Covid-19 guidelines will be strictly adhered to and online training and Garda vetting provided for volunteers.
