Could you be our next volunteer?

Birmingham Irish • Jul 23, 2023

To ensure that our sessions consistently embody the atmosphere of an Irish family, that clients and their families know and love so well, we rely upon our wonderful team of volunteers to help us provide that love and warmth. Therefore, we are always on the lookout for kind-hearted and helpful individuals to assist in delivering our mission.


We are proud to say we currently have a dementia service running Monday to Friday around the City. Many people with dementia describe the impact as a series of losses, and that adjusting to them is challenging.


Birmingham Irish aims to support those living with dementia through our dedicated culturally sensitive Dementia Support Centres.

Volunteering at our centre’s would involve being available from 9:30am until 2pm on your chosen day, and assisting with a variety of tasks, from setting up our room, participating in activities, meal preparation/serving and chatting with our clients.
