Together, We Ensure No Veteran Faces Dementia Alone

​

As a volunteer-led community organization, Veterans Dementia Support UK relies entirely on the time, skills, and unique talents of people like you. Volunteers are the beating heart of our charity—allowing us to provide deeply personal, face-to-face support for veterans and their families in local communities all across the country.

Whether you want to give back to those who served, learn a valuable new skill, or simply offer a listening ear, we have a place for you on our team.

Ways You Can Make a Difference

👥 Become a Volunteer Befriender (Nationwide)

We are actively seeking volunteer befrienders all across the UK. As a befriender, you will provide vital companionship to a veteran living with dementia—whether that’s meeting for a casual coffee, sharing military stories, or popping into a local care home for a friendly chat. If you have lived experience or a military background yourself, your perspective is incredibly valuable here.

🏥 Support Our Weekly Community Hubs

Help us run our local hubs by welcoming families, assisting with cognitive stimulation and reminiscence activities, or simply sitting down with a carer for a supportive chat during their "time out" breakout sessions.

🎓 Learn, Grow, and Understand

You don't need to be an expert on dementia to join us. We are looking for passionate people who simply want to learn more about how dementia affects individuals and how families cope. We provide you with the training, understanding, and tools you need to feel confident and safe in your role.

​

Our Recruitment Process: Keeping Everyone Safe

We do have a formal process for recruiting and onboarding our volunteers. Please don't let this put you off!

​

Because we work with vulnerable adults and families going through challenging times, these steps are purely about personal safety—ensuring both you and the families we support are completely safe, protected, and comfortable. We will guide you through every step of the paperwork with a dedicated team member.

​

"Volunteering with us isn't just about giving your time—it's about joining a community that honours service, builds lasting friendships, and creates real, measurable change."
