Event Volunteer

Alzheimer's Research UK is the UK's leading dementia research charity. We're working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia. But we will not stop there.

With your support, we will keep going until every person is free from the heartbreak of dementia.

We exist for a cure.

Why we want you

We are excited that Harleyford Golf Club are putting on a charity day on the Thursday 13th June in support of Alzheimer's Research UK. Harleyford Golf Club are hosting a charity golf tournament aiming to raise £100,000 for vital dementia research. In supporting this event, volunteers will help create a fantastic atmosphere and assist with different elements to ensure the day is a great success all whilst raising awareness of Alzheimer’s Research UK’s mission to accelerate progress towards a cure.
