Dementia Voice support volunteer

What's involved? Our Focus on Dementia Network brings together groups of people living with dementia to influence Alzheimer's Society's strategy and development, to provide feedback to influence change in other organisations, and to influence local organisations and Dementia-Friendly Communities. Groups usually meet face-to-face once per week, to use their experience of living with dementia to influence projects, discuss topics, test products, visit local venues or advise on campaigns. The sessions will take place on the 3rd or 4th Thursday of the month, 2pm-4pm, in Penylan, Cardiff. There will also be some administrative duties outside of this time.
