Adult Mental Health social activities

Unpaid Events Volunteer (Current Employee) - Beckham - London - 2 August 2017

As a volunteer, my duty is to assist the management to support social activities to patients from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) service users in Peckham South London.The activities intended to enhance the quality of service users' lives. I participate in activities, promoting events and workshops Interaction of social activities with service users such as playing table tennis, conversing, dominoes, playing cards, theatre trips and organise wakings and serving them with refreshments, drinks and hot meals reduce their social isolation and loneliness experienced by BME. Workplace culture reflects African Caribbean social activities mentioned above and West Indies hot meal cuisines. The hardest part of the job is listening about their moving real stories and the effects of their medical condition while the most enjoyable part is when they are enjoying their home made food, listening reggae music and playing dominoes games. I really enjoy the moment and feel I have contributed to their well-being.

Pros

enhancing their quality of lie by simple social activities

Cons

Service users' Unsuitable hours

Good experience. The nurses and health assistants i worked with were patient, supportive and very helpful. the experience was a hand-on experience so I got to experience things.
