It’s a role that suits me really well for lots of reasons.

I’m 78 and I have Alzheimer’s disease - that’s why I wanted to volunteer, to help other people with the same condition. I feel that I am doing well and other people can as well.

I volunteer with Alzheimer Scotland where I attend the Day Centre once a week, take part in fund-raising and serve on the branch committee. It keeps me busy!

To people thinking about volunteering, I would say come and join Alzheimer Scotland!
