iPad engAGE Volunteers NEEDED!

I am looking for some students (any level of education) to assist with the facilitation and research development of IPad engAGE.

'IPad engAGE aims to inspire digital inclusion for individuals living with dementia in various care facilities across the North East. The project will pilot various sensory and creative art workshops using the IPads, measuring the levels of engagement
and participation with new technology rather than with traditional techniques. Working One to One and as a group.

I will be working specifically in Dementia Care Settings across the North East and these include:

  • Carers Together in Redcar (10 dates to be arranged between the 6th of August and 7th of September)
  • Kirkley Lodge Day Centre in Coulby Newham (10 dates to be arranged between the 1st of October and 2nd of November)
  • Kirkley Lodge Residential Care Home in Coulby Newham (10 dates to be organised between the 26th of November and 28th of December)
  • York Teaching Hospitals in York (10 dates to be organised between the 21st of January and 22nd of February)
Ideally i am looking for one student per care facility, in which they will assist for 2 days a week over a period of 5 weeks (10 sessions in total) - times and dates for these are TBA.
- Travel Expenses will be paid for along with CRB's.


Feel free to get in touch if you are interested in one of the following settings and would be willing to discuss the project in greater detail at:
