From June 1 to 7 it is National Volunteering Week and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers at Alzheimer’s Society. We have volunteers at Memory Cafes, Singing for the Brain and Carers Groups across Dorset.

We also have a team of fundraisers, enabling us to carry on providing services and improving the quality of life for people with dementia and their carers. Volunteers are a vital part of our organisation and create a welcoming and friendly atmosphere at our groups.

So big thanks to each and every one of you – we simply couldn’t manage without you.

Lisa Holmes, Development Worker, Alzheimer’s Society, Dorset
