Jane reflects on her time as a telephone befriending volunteer over lockdown, and on connecting over shared experiences.

Our 24 hour Freephone Dementia Helpline is staffed entirely by a team of trained and highly skilled volunteer call handlers. Their dedication and loyalty are remarkable. There is no 'typical' day on the Helpline but four of our remarkable team have shared one recent shvift to mark Dementia Awareness Week.

The Helpline is staffed entirely by trained volunteers. This role can include telephone, face-to-face and online support.

The staff and volunteers were very warm, welcoming and extremely friendly the day I arrived.

Volunteers play so many roles at Alzheimer Scotland. Whether it's lending a helping hand at their local Centre, manning our 24h Freephone Dementia Helpline, or holding the bucket at a national collection, volunteers are essential to our work. This week, we want to say a huge thank you to every one of our generous and dedicated volunteers.

Since 1989, our Helpline has supported thousands of people with dementia, their partners, family and friends. We're now looking for dedicated and compassionate volunteers who can commit to at least one regular shift per week on the Helpline.
