Can you lend a couple of hours? Volunteers we need you!
The buckets are clean, the vests are unfolded and our venues are booked for the 2019 Dementia Waikato Annual Appeal and we would love it if you could lend us a couple of volunteer hours to fundraise! We would also love it if you shared our message with your communities and helped us spread the word.
Donations received are used in the Waikato and help us remain the only charitable organisation in the region to provide free education, advice and support to people living with dementia. Our mission is to help people live as well as possible, whatever their symptoms are. Our vision is living well with dementia.
To volunteer, email our super crew at volunteers@dementiawaikato.org.nz or call 282 1373.

24.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated
