Movement for Memories Golf Buddy Volunteer

Are you a keen golfer with a warm manner, and an appreciation for the benefits of being active? Do you have an interest in improving the lives of those living with dementia? We are looking for enthusiastic and caring people to join our friendly team of volunteers to accompany individuals with dementia around one of Edinburgh Leisure’s golf courses. We’ll make sure that you receive training and support to enable you to have fun and succeed in making a difference with us.

As a Movement for Memories Golf Buddy, for 2 hours a week and a preferred minimum of 6 months, you will support an adult living with dementia to enjoy a round or two of golf. Volunteers say that they develop deeper connections within their communities, feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally; and are better able to manage health conditions such as stress.
