Volunteering support
This event requires some volunteering support to make it run smoothly and we’d love to hear from you if you are able to lend a hand on the day. This week we are looking for:
Car Sharing – If you are travelling up and back on the day, there are some guys that would like to have a lift if you are able to offer one. We’ll organise car-sharing a little closer to the time on our WhatsApp group.
Walk & Talk support – To assist the leaders and keep an eye on the group (eg man the walkie talkie, be a backmarker, nominate yourself as a first aider)
Befrienders – To look out for new guys that join and make them feel welcome
