Cheer Squad
60 mins one-off (60m)
There are many faces of loneliness. Joining a Cheer Squad is one great way to connect with others. Whoever you are, whatever your circumstances, we come together as one community to support and celebrate.
Leading a healthy lifestyle and being socially active can protect brain health and help reduce the risk of dementia. Our partnership with parkrun offers a great way to step out into your community to join with others and stay connected.
Find out more about the different roles available before you pledge on the parkrun website.
parkruns are free, weekly, community events that offer a positive, welcoming and inclusive experience. Evidence has shown that leading a healthy lifestyle and being socially active can reduce the risk of dementia. As the official charity partner of parkrun UK, we are determined to help them to continue to grow their community. Volunteers are crucial to these events. And with 25 different roles to choose from, you can do as little or as much as you like – step into a new community today; help us reduce loneliness by encouraging those around you to feel more connected.
