Support volunteers assist through the Friends of Samaritans in raising funds and awareness or by operating practical support within the branch in relation, for example to IT, finance and operations.
We welcome potential volunteers from all walks of life and backgrounds. Returning volunteers are especially welcome.

Group Support Volunteer - Singing for the Brain
Alzheimer's Society
Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer
Why we need you
Singing for the Brain is our trailblazing music as therapy group session, which brings people affected by dementia together to sing a variety of songs they know and love, in a fun and friendly environment. Whether it’s listening, singing or moving to the rhythm, each session creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere and is a source of joy and support, with fun, laughs and connection
between people.
As a Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer, you will use your interpersonal skills to enable people affected by dementia to engage in musical activity and socialise with others, either in person or
online under the guidance of the session facilitator, enabling people with dementia to find their voice through music.
What you will be doing
• Provide a warm welcome to people affected by dementia to make them feel comfortable and included.
• Help set up the room and tidy away at the end of the session. Help prepare and distribute refreshments.
• Encouraging and supporting people affected by dementia to engage with singing activities and physical movement.
• Supporting the session facilitator by distributing materials such as songbooks.
This role will suit you if you
• Have an interest in music, although you aren’t required to sing if you do not wish to.
• Have good communication and listening skills, and are friendly, positive, and approachable.
• Enjoy meeting people and being part of a team.
• Are aware of or are willing to learn about dementia and its impact on people.
• Can demonstrate empathy and compassion
What you can expect from us
• We will make you feel welcome, included and respected.
• You will receive training, ongoing supervision and support.
• You can claim pre-agreed out of pocket expenses (e.g. travel) in line with our policy.
• We’ll keep you up to date with relevant policies and procedures that apply to your role.
• You’ll have access to learning, development and engagement opportunities for volunteers
What we need from you
To ensure the safety and security of people with dementia we ask for:
• Two references and proof of identity.
• To put the role into practice most effectively volunteers are recommended to continue for at least 6 months.
• Learning at the start will take about 2-3 hours, followed by periodic refreshers.
The Singing for the Brain Group is held at St Martin's Community Centre, Rue Maze, St Martins on Friday afternoons between 2 and 4pm.
Please contact Guernsey@alzheimers.org.uk or 07911 738774 for further information

COMMUNITY GARDENING OPPORTUNITIES
Styx Centre
Styx recently acquired a large field next to the Centre, which has been designated for Community and Leisure use.
The top section will see a new playground provided together with safer road access and additional parking provision.
The middle will retain an open green aspect as community space, with the lower third providing an already planted Orchard and additional growing area.
Funding has also been secured for the creation of a nature trail with biodiverse planting around the bottom perimeter and an education area.
This is an exciting project to create, plant up and see come to fruition, which will also lead on to creation of raised vegetable and fruit beds, all providing a wonderful community area to be immersed in.
Please just get in touch with the office if this is your thing and you'd like to get involved in a bit of community gardening; growing, weeding, carpentry, tool maintenance, mowing, strimming etc.
Shed, tools, tea & biscuits all provided!
