Volunteer: Memory Walk project team leader, Brighton/Hove

Where do you want me to volunteer?

In the Brighton/Hove area

What will I be doing?

The Memory Walk is Alzheimer's Society annual flagship fundraising event, raising significant amounts each year. Local walks take place all over the country in September. The funds raised will be used to support people with dementia and their carers. In September 2013 there will be a walk in the Brighton/ Hove area.

This volunteer role is vital as the project team will help in planning, organising and delivering the Memory Walk. In this role, with the support of the Community Fundraiser, you will be leading the Memory Walk Project Team. This will involve allocating tasks and responsibilities in the team, recruiting Memory Walk volunteers and deploying volunteers as effectively as possible.

This role may be suitable for you if you have an interest in co-ordinating events, are reliable, organised and are willing to help in a 'hands on' practical way.

How much time do you expect me to commit?

The walk will be held in September 2013 but organisation begins several months in advance. Typically volunteers in this role attend a number of meetings in the 6-8 months before the walk takes place and help with practical activities outside the meetings. Volunteers in this role are also expected to help co-ordinate activities on the day of the Memory Walk.
