Gardening
Do you have green fingers and a love of gardening? Help us to make our small garden a beautiful, peaceful space for people affected by dementia to enjoy.
Fundraising Events
There are charity sales and events around Bath and surrounding areas during the summer and in the run up to Christmas. We need people to help run stalls, sell Christmas cards and attend events. We also need people to take part in street collections for us.
Office support
We always need people with office skills such as data entry or typing. If you could attend our office for a few hours each week or month, we would love to hear from you.
Research
Volunteer for medical research to improve our understanding of dementia. Could you take part in a clinical trial or answer a questionnaire? You do not need to have a dementia diagnosis, we encourage anyone to register to get involved in our research. Please contact our Clinical Research and Quality Manager: vanessa.bishop@rice.org.uk.
