Edinburgh, United Kingdom Alzheimer's Research UK Full time

_**------Please note: This is a voluntary (unpaid) role. There is no remuneration. ------**_

Alzheimer's Research UK is the UK's leading dementia research charity. We're working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia. But we will not stop there.

With your support, we will keep going until every person is free from the heartbreak of dementia.

We exist for a cure.

**Why we want you**

Walk For A Cure is an event for everyone impacted by dementia. A cure is within our grasp, together we can make it happen. In supporting this event, volunteers will be creating a platform through which friends & family can gather, share and make a lasting difference to dementia for future generations.

**What you will be doing**

Specifically, at this event, your role could be:

- **Greeter** - welcoming walkers to the event village, generating a positive atmosphere, and helping to bring a warm personality to the day's event.
- **Route and/or Start/Finish Marshal** - guiding walkers along the route, ensuring safety of walkers at crossings and junctions. Or supporting the start and handing out water and medals at the finish.
- **Sweep Marshal** - following behind final walkers and checking in with route marshals. Liaison with event organisers where necessary.
- **Event Village** - helping with arrival and registration, handing out lanyards, t-shirts, and supporting event village activities, e.g. assisting with public engagement stalls/stands.
- **Photographer** - capturing action shots to showcase the feel of the event (in multiple locations). _Photographers may be required to marshal alongside this role._

**Where and when**

9am-2pm. Sunday 23 June, Holyrood Park, Edinburgh EH8 8HG.

**Who**

All volunteers must be 18+.

**The skills you need**
- Passion for the cause of Alzheimer's Research UK.
- People skills; an enjoyment of working with others.
- An organised team player and good communicator.

Route marshals will require a reasonable level of general fitness to walk (unaided) to the furthest point on the route (if required). All volunteer duties are based outside, so you will need to be comfortable in the outdoors and enthusiastic in all weather.

**The benefits for you**

At this event you'll specifically benefit from:

- A new event volunteering opportunity alongside people from your local community.
- A fun and organised day out with like-minded people, passionate about finding a cure.
