One-off Volunteer at Meadowhall Motorfest event fundraising for Bluebell Wood Hospice
Hosted by:
Opportunity Description: Come and help us with vital fundraising at Meadowhall on Sunday the 1st of June! About this role:
We're recruiting volunteers to help at our annual Motorfest event, which in previous years has raised more than £30,000 for the hospice! We have lots of different roles on the day which are listed below. You'll get to enjoy free access to the event whilst having a fun day out, be part of a big team of volunteers and gain experience for your CV without making a long term commitment. All whilst having the satisfaction of knowing you are helping to raise vital funds for your local children's hospice!
Once you've signed up we'll send you exact instructions of where to meet us on the day. You'll be provided with guidance and a volunteer agreement to sign ahead of the day. Then just turn up on the day and we'll show you exactly what you'll need to do and answer any questions you have.
It costs around £6.5 million a year to run the Hospice, so we rely on our events volunteers to help raise vital funds so we can continue to be there for families who need us - we hope you'll join #TeamBluebell for the day. We are looking for volunteers who would be available ideally for the full day (7:30am to 4:30pm) but if not any time you can give is still greatly appreciated.
