Dementia Toolkit for coronavirus volunteers

United Against Dementia has created a toolkit for volunteers supporting the coronavirus response. www.alzheimers.org.uk/coronavirus-volunteer-toolkit Many people already helping or volunteering in their local communities during coronavirus will be supporting people affected by dementia. From NHS volunteers, to neighbours and friends helping others.  With so many people living with dementia needing the support of their communities during this period, it is important that those offering their time are more aware of what it is like to live with dementia, and the action they can take to support those living with the condition.  Working with people affected by dementia, we’ve created a top tips guide with simple things a volunteer can do, like learning a little more about the condition, tips on communicating effectively and where to signpost to for specialist support.
