Liverpool Memory Walk
Liverpool Memory Walk is back for 2024, and so are our amazing volunteering opportunities. Memory Walk is so much more than a sponsored walk. Every year thousands of people come together to remember and bring hope for a brighter future. This is a walk like no other; this is thousands of people walking for a better future for those with dementia. Join the volunteer team on 01/09/2024 at Aintree Racecourse, in Liverpool . There is something for everyone, with roles based in the event site and along the route. Be part of an unforgettable event experience as you cheer at a marshal point, follow the route as a back marker, sell some goodies or congratulate walkers with their finish line medal. You will have the opportunity to pair up with a friend or another volunteer and we’ll make sure you have everything you need!

The Alzheimer's Society have asked us to help out at their Liverpool event.
It would be a full morning comment, but if you can only do a couple of hours still sign up, but leave a comment to say what times you can do!

Where to meet: Centre of the racecourse (W3W: ///teach.ruby.tens) Arrive through the main entrance and we will be guided to the meeting point, either walk in or drive in (parking is povided)

The organiser have sent this: What to bring:

  1.      A fully charged mobile phone
    
  2.     Extra snacks and a reusable water bottle / travel mug
    
  3.     Warm clothes and suitable footwear
    
  4.     A foldaway chair may be handy

Lunch isn't being provided for us, they said hot drinks and a flap jack, so do bring anything else you might want to eat for lunch.

Everyone also needs to fill in their registration form: https://alzheimersevents.org.uk/ps/event/VolLiverpoolMW24

We are arranging either lifts and/or getting the train together in our WhatsApp group so let us know in the comments if you aren't in that group so we can make sure you are included.
