Awareness raising: Spread the word about aortic dissection and THINK AORTA where you live and work.

Support: Use your experience of aortic dissection to support other patients and relatives.

Storytelling: Share your lived experience of aortic dissection as a patient or relative story in writing, on a podcast or video, or as a speaker at an event.

Events: Help us plan our awareness events and attend medical conferences.

Digital: Join the team that maintains this website and our social media presence.

Research: Join our Research Team and represent the charity in research projects.

Admin: Help keep the wheels turning by using your skills to support our Admin & IT team.

Regional representative: Help co-ordinate our work in the region where you live.

Committee: After gaining some experience as a volunteer, you may decide to stand for election to the Management Committee at our AGM, when vacancies arise.

Trustee: After gaining some experience as a volunteer, you may decide to stand for election as a Trustee of the charity at our AGM, when vacancies arise.
