Make an impact on the lives of people living with dementia.

Volunteers help improve the quality of community life for individuals living with dementia, by supporting a cause that they believe in.

Volunteering is a great career move: They use their professional skills to benefit others while learning new skills and discovering new talents. In some cases, they advance their careers or gain experience and qualifications for future employment, scholarships, bursaries, and academic programs.

Volunteering is a social activity. Volunteers meet other people who share their interests and passions. They build their network and establish contacts in their field of interest. Work with other team members to achieve a specific goal.

Volunteering is a healthy activity. Volunteers boost their health, reduce their stress, and have fun which contributes to wellbeing. There are many ways to to support individuals who are living with dementia. Whether it’s one-time, long-term, financial, or community support, find a way that works for your goals and situation.
