Special Event Volunteering

Not everyone can make a commitment to ongoing volunteering, but might enjoy giving time on a one-off basis, getting involved in sports events, festivals and fundraisers, helping as a steward or marshal, or setting up and taking down the paraphernalia of an event.
It’s an attractive opportunity, volunteering in a fun atmosphere, enjoying the camaraderie of a group effort, while making a difference to the cultural life of your community or helping to raise funds for a worthwhile cause.
Hampshire Volunteer Centres are able to register and promote one-off volunteering opportunities for your special events. All we ask is a reasonable amount of notice to be able to promote the role properly.
Most of the Hampshire Volunteer Centres now register Special Event Volunteers, who can be alerted about forthcoming event opportunities. Typical opportunities are carnivals, sponsored walks and cycling events, arts festivals, open days and steam railway specials.
If you need extra pairs of hands for your event, do get in touch with your local Volunteer Centre for a registration form. We can then promote the role on the national volunteering website www.do-it.org.uk, where all the volunteer centres upload their opportunities, and through all our other means of publicity.
