Job Description

What's Involved? Join us At Swansea Maritime Museum for Memory Walk on Saturday 13th October 2018. With two routes to choose from, we need enthusiastic volunteers to make it a day to remember for our walkers. Volunteers are needed for just a few hours. Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but if you are under 16 you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and if you're aged 16-18 you will need to complete a parental consent form. Most of our volunteers will be needed between 08:30 and 13:30, depending on the role. Exact timings will be confirmed nearer the date. There are lots of ways you can help make Memory Walk a great day for everyone involved; including marshalling, route marking, cheering walkers across the finish line, interacting with walkers, selling merchandise, helping to keep the site clean and tidy and helping with event setup and breakdown. When registering you can choose to be a Route or Walk Village volunteer, and we will try our best to place you in your preferred role on the day. This role will suit you if you are.... Enthusiastic, welcoming and love being part of a large event. We need volunteers who are happy to take on a variety of different roles throughout the day, are good communicators and comfortable talking to our walkers. Volunteering at Memory Walk is also great for pairs and groups. The impact you'll make... Memory Walk is Alzheimer's Society's flagship fundraising event, where thousands of walkers unite against dementia at sponsored walks across England, Wales & Northern Ireland. The money raised at Memory Walk helps to fund our universal and local services, as well as our research and campaigning work. Groups of volunteers are welcome. Practical Considerations Can youth groups volunteer? All youth groups must have a leader (aged over 18) who is responsible for the group on the day of the event. If you are the leader, send us a quick email including the name of the group, how many of you would like to volunteer and the name of the walk you would like to volunteer. We will then be in touch to arm you with everything you need to do. Please send your email to memorywalk@alzheimers.org.uk How old do I need to be to register? You can only register to volunteer online if you are over the age of 18. Volunteers under 18 should email memorywalk@alzheimers.org.uk and request a youth volunteer registration form and parental consent form. How to apply We can't run our events without amazing volunteers, so please sign-up today at www.memorywalk.org.uk/volunteer or contact Kerry Lane Volunteering Officer on Kerry.Lane@alzheimers.org.uk or phone 01269 597690
