About You
About Alzheimer's Society
Please note that all of our volunteering opportunities are based in the UK and you must be living in the UK to volunteer with us. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor visa applications but are grateful for your interest in supporting us.
About Alzheimer's Society
Alzheimer's Society is here for everyone affected by dementia.
By 2025, an estimated 1 million people will be living with the condition in the UK, and many millions more carers, partners, families and friends will be affected.
Dementia is a complex condition, and there's no one-size fits all solution but until we find a cure, our aim is to transform lives today.
We do this by:
- Providing flexible support services so that people with dementia, their carers and loved ones, can access expert advice and guidance, support through their most challenging days, and a safe space to turn when they need it.
- Being a force for change - using research and influencing to push for breakthroughs that will change the lives of people affected by dementia now and in future.
Our Values
Determined to make a difference: We're passionate, we're focused and we make a lasting impact for people affected by dementia.
Trusted expert: We're listening, we're learning and we use experience and evidence.
Better together: We're open, we combine our strengths and we achieve more together.
Compassionate: We're kind, we're honest and we don't shy away from challenges.
Equal opportunities
Alzheimer's Society is committed to equal opportunities.
Alzheimer's Society embraces diversity, inclusion and accessibility for all of our people. We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do.
This means ensuring our recruitment processes are barrier-free and as inclusive as possible to everyone. We will look at making reasonable adjustments for people who have a disability or long-term condition.
