About the role: 

Alzheimer’s Society’s mission of defeating dementia requires us to raise substantial amounts from voluntary donations. Pressure to reach high fundraising income targets brings its own risks and challenges. Newspaper headlines in the past have frequently berated charities for ‘harassing’ potential donors. Charities have been accused of using ‘boiler room’ tactics to pressure the vulnerable into parting with money they cannot afford to donate. It is our duty to ensure our practices are in line with best practice and our culture. 

The Society supports people who can be amongst the most vulnerable in Society.
