The volunteers

Since the first meeting on December 1, 2016, to which more than 200 volunteers were present, nearly sixty associations, institutions or individuals have been involved in the implementation of volunteering in the heart of the Landais Village.

Since then, the training of volunteers has continued, in particular with raising awareness about Alzheimer's disease and related issues. At the same time, animation programs are being prepared. In the Village, volunteers participate in the general animation by carrying out activities inside the site and by involving residents and their carers in associative activities.

They can exercise their activities in the Village, in the open air (pétanque court, pleasure garden, mini-farm, vegetable garden) or indoors (media library, auditorium, gym, restaurant, households, etc.), but also in the agglomeration of Acquois by accompanying residents on outings, to outdoor events (matches, Landes races, play, etc.).

The Village is a real place of life thanks to them.

This Village project delights me. I hope to find my place to help Alzheimer's patients. With them, there are so many adventures and surprises that we laugh about it, and it makes them laugh too! Anne-Marie Eydeli, bénévole
