Awareness Raising Volunteer

Awareness Raising Volunteer

If you'd like to support your local community by helping to ensure that people who are worried about or affected by dementia are aware of the support and advice services we offer, we have just the role for you!

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.

The role will be carried out within the Belfast and Greater Belfast area. This is not a remote role, and there will be the opportunity to volunteer at different events and venues across Belfast and Greater Belfast.

Awareness Raising Volunteers are invited to take part in the Volunteer Awareness Raising and Fundraising Group. This group meets every other month to discuss plans and meet other volunteers who are involved in either / both awareness raising and fundraising activities. This is not an essential part of the role, however it is a great way to get involved in future plans for raising awareness, as well as meeting other volunteers. The group meetings take place at the Alzheimer's Society Office (30 Skegoneill Street, Belfast, BT15 3JL).
