Community Link Volunteer East Riding

About

The Role

Help us to extend our reach!

We are here for anyone affected by dementia and are keen to reach people in all communities, including those who may be more at risk of isolation through language, accessibility needs, identity or background.

This exciting role will support Alzheimer's Society's Forget Me Not Movement and our Making Waves event at The Deep, helping us start meaningful conversations, reduce stigma, and ensure people affected by dementia know where to turn for information, advice and support.

You’ll play a crucial role in building and strengthening community links and raising awareness of the services we have available. You’ll take part in events and talk to groups to raise awareness of dementia and to identify people affected by dementia who can share their dementia story with their wider community as well as with us. You’ll also signpost people to access our services.
