Volunteers Play An Important Role
Volunteers contribute significantly to our organisation. Be it supporting our team, facilitating our programmes and services or keeping our clients engaged through a variety of activities, volunteers co-create valuable experiences for people living with dementia with us.
When interactions shifted online, it was our volunteers who stepped forward to support us with virtual activities for our clients. This ensured that our clients are continuously engaged. Have a look at the virtual activities led by our volunteers on our Facebook page!
A Vibrant And Trusted Partnership
We aspire to create a meaningful exchange for our volunteers – with get-togethers, interest groups & activities, planning sessions, training and leadership development. Through a vibrant and trusted partnership, we seek to build a dementia-inclusive society together.

Important Notes
In light of COVID-19, Dementia Singapore has ceased and/or postponed all non-essential volunteer events. While Dementia Singapore will accept sign-ups for new volunteers, volunteers will be placed on a waitlist for future deployment. The care, safety, and health of all our persons with dementia, caregivers, volunteers, partner organisations and staff are of utmost importance. Please refer to our advisory page for official updates regarding COVID-19.
Where feasible, virtual volunteering may be carried out for event-based/ad-hoc volunteering. During these unprecedented times, we hope to ensure that people living with dementia are keeping active and engaged while staying home, and that our caregivers are receiving as much support as possible.
