Flexible Community Event Volunteer & Fundraiser

Becoming an Event Volunteer with us offers a flexible way to give back, especially if you have limited time availability and cannot make a regular commitment. It is not only a rewarding experience but also a fun and sociable way to support our vital fundraising initiatives.

We truly believe that every contribution matters, no matter how big or small. Your support as an Event Volunteer will not only help us achieve our fundraising goals but also create memorable experiences and a positive impact within the community.

We host a variety of events throughout the year, ranging from Strictly Fun Dancing to Men's March, Mendip Challenge, Moonlight Beach Walk, and many more. As a volunteer, you can choose from a diverse range of roles such as marshalling, merchandise sales, bucket collections, baking cakes, stewarding, or even face painting.

When you sign up to be an Event volunteer, our fundraising team will reach out to you periodically as events are planned, seeking your assistance. While there is no obligation to help at every event, your participation whenever possible can truly make a difference. As the saying goes, many hands make light work!

If you are interested in joining us as an Event Volunteer or would like more information, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Your kindness and dedication can truly make a difference, and we would be thrilled to have you on board!
