Volunteer: Dementia Friendly Community Champion, Armagh/Dungannon

Alzheimer's Society

Dementia Friendly Community volunteers are key to communicating messages about dementia and increasing awareness of the support available by delivering interactive awareness workshops as well as targeted information sessions within your local community

What’s involved?

 You’ll be attending local events and groups to enable you to increase awareness of dementia in your local area. You will be involved in raising the profile of the Dementia Friendly Community Programme through posters and leaflets and will also help to support our local campaigning.

About you:

You’ll be passionate about making a difference to the lives of people affected by dementia. You’ll be a good communicator and willing to learn presentation and facilitation skills. You’ll be keen to support change in your community.

The impact you’ll make:

This role is essential to creating dementia friendly communities across Northern Ireland. By delivering interactive dementia awareness workshops in your community, you’ll be helping to improve the lives of people affected by dementia by increasing their confidence in supporting those living with dementia. You will be active in developing the level of knowledge about dementia within your local area.

What you need to know:

We need to ensure that people living with dementia who benefit from our services are safe. In order for us to do this we interview, check and train our volunteers in on-going roles. If you have accessibility need we’ll make reasonable adjustments to enable you to volunteer. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds, communities and experiences. We will make you feel welcome, included and respected because together we are united.
