volunteering with LISA's CiC
Leisure Inclusive Social Activity Services (LISA’s) is a Community Interest Company providing social groups and outings for over 50s in Cleckheaton, Birkenshaw and Heckmondwike including a group supporting people living with dementia. Activities include crafts, baking, quizzes games and chair exercise. Their 13 dedicated and caring volunteers support 49 members and 9 carers from the community to attend social groups and outings.
Volunteer Leah commented:
“I got into becoming a volunteer at LISA’s by first attending the weekly Dementia Group with my Gran.
I now volunteer on a Tuesday and Thursday as well as at the group outings we offer.
I have also completed all of the training now to become a group leader so I can lead groups when Lisa requires.
Volunteering has enabled me to develop my skills and training in many different areas.
It’s given me more confidence and fulfilment in life.
I love spending time with our members and the other volunteers who I would now call friends.“
