Could you help to make a real difference in the lives of families in your local area living with a diagnosis of PSP or CBD? Could you become a Link Volunteer?
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) and Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) are rapidly progressing neurological conditions caused by premature loss of nerve cells in certain parts of the brain.
Living with a diagnosis of PSP or CBD is life-changing and affects individuals and their families in a variety of different ways. A diagnosis can put a real strain on family members’ mental health and well-being.
As a Link Volunteer, you will offer support to families in your local community who are adjusting to a diagnosis. A Link Volunteer will be supported by PSPA to provide information, practical and emotional support. For the families you support, having a Link Volunteer to talk to regularly about their worries can make a huge difference.
Becoming a Link Volunteer is a great way to gain and develop existing skills whilst making a difference to people living with PSP & CBD and their families.
The Link Volunteer role is flexible so that you can fit it around your family, studies or other commitments and you will receive comprehensive training and ongoing support from PSPA staff throughout.
If you are an empathetic, effective communicator with basic admin and computer skills, we would love to hear from you!
