Introduction
The 3NDWG is a working group of people with dementia who want to make a positive difference to those affected by dementia. The group is independent of the Alzheimer’s Society but funded and provided with administrative support by the Alzheimer’s Society.
The group was launched in 2017, and once established, the group opened up to any person with a diagnosis of dementia. The role of the steering group has evolved from being a start-up function to overseeing the work of the 3NDWG in its entirety.
How long and how often
This is a voluntary role with an initial two year term.
The role requires an average of 10 hours of time per month and attendance at steering group meetings up to four times per year. There are also virtual meetings via Zoom video call once per month.
Project work will be in addition to the time estimates given above.

There will be travel within your region, as well as possible opportunities to volunteer at events across England, Wales & Northern Ireland on behalf of the 3NDWG. There may be opportunities to represent the group within Europe and internationally.
