Volunteer stories

Hear from volunteers at dementia day clubs and community groups in Wiltshire. Why they got involved, and why it's often the best few hours of their week.

What our volunteers say

"Seeing people 'come to life' with the music is amazingly rewarding. And I've met some wonderful friends here, too."

Alison Music for the Mind volunteer

"You leave each week knowing that you have been part of something extraordinary."

Rosie Community group volunteer

“I see a lot of my husband in the club members and only wish he could have come here. The service they get is invaluable and I see how much the families appreciate it. That’s why I volunteer. I love being part of the team, it feels so worthwhile.”

Jean Old Silk Works club volunteer

"I’ve been a carer and know how important it was to get a break for both for myself and for Mum. Beyond Dementia provides a vital service. My family and I received wonderful support when we needed it, it’s great to be able to pass that on."

Janet Mill Street club volunteer

"Caring is often seen as traditionally a woman’s role but here the volunteer role is all about making connections and companionship. We have a group of men here on a Friday who particularly enjoy practical activities and I tend to support with that – it’s nice for the men to have another bloke to chat to."
