You'll support local events, hold information stands, and display leaflets in a variety of venues and locations highly visible in your community, such as libraries and GP surgeries.
You'll make sure the information publicised in your community is up to date and accurate.
You'll also establish connections with local organisations and community groups to help achieve widespread awareness of the support we offer.
As a representative of Alzheimer's Society, we will provide you with branded clothing, and you may also have the opportunity to be included in event pictures to showcase the Society work in the local media.We are looking for volunteers to help raise awareness of Dementia and signpost to our new Dementia Support Early Intervention service.
Volunteers will be working in community hubs, drop-in events, groups and healthcare settings.
Volunteers will also offer low level emotional support as required and will network with organisations and groups to find out about local groups and services that have opportunities for carers, people newly diagnosed and those with memory problems to be engaged and active in their community.
