Peer Motivater Volunteer Role(50+) (Walsall Community Venues)

Peer Motivators are volunteers aged 50+ with interest in or experience of dance or keeping active. As a Peer Motivator, you will participate in the dance sessions, offering encouragement and support to other group members.  As a part of the dance team delivering the project, your help will ensure that all participants get the one-to-one support they need to maximise the benefits of taking part.  This role takes place weekly on a Thursday for two hours.

Previous experience of taking part in dance is useful but not essential. You do need to be fit enough to take part in Dance to Health sessions.

You need to be understanding, patient and empathetic, in order to be able to support group participants who need extra help and encouragement during sessions.

This role suits a reliable person. Weekly attendance to sessions is desirable so our dance artists can plan sessions to include your involvement and the participants can build relationships with you.
