Community Connector

All with a view to enable people living with dementia to get outdoors, connect with nature, themselves and their community, and retain a sense of adventure in their lives, in all aspects within the community.

▪ Engaging members of the public at these events by talking about our adventures, research, consultancy and training as well as how people can fundraise and/or volunteer for us

▪ Recording enquiries generated from the public and passing this information to the Dementia Adventure Community Engagement Team

▪ Undertaking any essential training which is in line with Dementia Adventure's policies and procedures
