Every year we have opportunities to gather together our supporters at exciting events that raise vital funds and awareness as we seek to make breakthroughs possible.

Whether it’s a sporting event, a fundraising collection, local community event, campaign, music festival or other event, we require the support of volunteers to make these events an overwhelming success. This is a flexible, varied and fun role – will you think about joining us?

Apply today to get involved in being a vital part of our work to overcome dementia. Depending upon the event, your role might include:

  • Helping at stands and stalls to give out resources and engage with supporters
  • Holding bucket collections to turn pennies into pounds
  • Guiding and encouraging participants as a route marshal at a sporting event
  • Setup, logistics, and practical on-the-day support that make the events happen
  • Photography, refreshments, parking, merchandise – lots of ways to help out!
