Speaker Volunteer

Medical Detection Dogs require a national network of speakers to help promote awareness of the charity; the work we do and the life changing difference our assistance alert dogs can make. As well as promoting the charity; speakers help raise much needed funds and encourage others to fundraise in various ways; for example by leaving a legacy in their will or organising a fundraising/sponsored event on our behalf. This is invaluable as Medical Detection Dogs rely totally on the generosity of individuals and organisations. Speakers visit groups such as Lions; Rotary Clubs; Women's Institutes; community groups; schools and businesses within their local community. It is your choice how far you wish to travel to talks.What does the role involve? ï You can be paired up with one of our Clients and their Assistant Alert Dogs ï You can attend as many or as few talks as you wish ï Give talks/presentations as requested ï We welcome and encourage you to contact local organisations and organise your own talks ï Keep up to date with news and information
