As part of Making a Positive Contribution Week the Alzheimer's Society will be delivering talks in college on how you can become a Dementia Friend.

Friday 18th November

10.00-11.00am - Gaskell's Conference Room, Wakefield Campus
1.15-2.15pm - CX013. Castleford Campus

The scheme provides training and support to educate volunteers on Dementia enabling them to go out in to the community to turn their understanding into action and help people with the condition.

This is a great opportunity to get involved with a charity and make a real impact on people's lives whilst learning new skills and developing your CV.

Volunteering outside of college can now be claimed as PEEP, all you need to do is contact Diane Annakin (D.Annakin@wakefield.ac.uk) via email and provide the details of your volunteering position.
