EACH relies on public support for the majority of its required income of approx £5.8 million per year. We hold many fundraising events throughout the year that help us achieve this. These events would not be possible without the help of volunteers who help with everything from selling raffle tickets to serving cream teas!
We always need volunteers to help at events. Volunteering at events is great fun and it doesn’t have to take up much time, so even those with busy lives will be able to help.
If you would like to help out at any of the events featured here, please contact Clare Bates (tel: 01223 815134). It is usually possible to talk through the details on the phone or by email and all you need to do is put it in your diary and turn up on the day!
Feel free to bring along a friend or partner – just let us know as we need to make sure we have the right number of volunteers on the day.
Group Volunteering:
Some of our events need 50 or more volunteers so we are always looking for groups (community groups, Lions clubs, corporate groups) to help at a particular event. If you are part of a group and would like to find out more then contact Clare Bates.
All event volunteers must be 16 years or over.
