Volunteers contribute to the success of our branch and we are always
looking for new volunteers to help in various capacities.
Our
volunteers help us for a variety of reasons - some join us because they wish to
learn something new, they may want to share their skills, fill free time, gain
experience for paid employment, feel they are "giving something back" or simply
want to support the Alzheimer's Society.
Whatever their reasons we are
grateful to them for helping us; our branch could not survive without them. In
return we aim to support our volunteers by providing a programme, which
includes induction, training, expenses and support sessions with our volunteer
supporter. We offer a friendly environment and hope to make volunteering
worthwhile and fun.
