It’s National Volunteer Week and we want to thank our volunteers for their hard work and dedication this past year. Our volunteers bring a huge variety of different interests and skills, and they delve into tasks with devotion. We appreciate every single one of these special people.

I love helping the Society because I see staff and volunteers making a difference in the lives of people living with dementia through the positive things they do. It’s a great feeling to be part of this community. When I spend time with the staff and other volunteers, I learn new ways of showing acceptance, respect and support for people affected by dementia.
My favourite event is the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s because it’s a relaxed and fun event with so many beautiful smiling faces. I’m excited to see everyone come together virtually this year and will be looking for those smiling faces online! In our current circumstances, I think it’s more important than ever before to come together, even if it’s coming together apart!
