What we will provide to volunteers
🤝 Extra supportAbout Hulp bij Dementie
If you register as a volunteer, we will first make an appointment to get to know you. We also discuss your wishes, such as in which part of the city you want to work and what you would prefer to do with your client. If you are still enthusiastic, you will follow a short education about dementia and we will ensure a good match. We will then agree that you will visit your client for at least six months. During your work with us, you can always contact us with your questions.
