We are looking for volunteers to help at our portfolio of exciting evening fashion show events this year. Be a part of something truly special!
The NSPCC's mission is to end cruelty to children. In order to carry out its charitable work, the NSPCC relies on the fundraising support of people across the UK for 90% of its annual income. That's why the NSPCC events team put on industry leading events to raise funds and highlight the work that we do
We are looking for enthusiastic and organised people to join our community of event volunteers. We couldn't continue to hold industry leading events without our event volunteers who play an integral part in assisting on the night. The NSPCC events calendar brings together guests from a range of sectors for innovative, luxury and spectacular evenings of entertainment that help to raise vital funds for the NSPCC and Childline.
What you'll be doing:
To work together with the Community Fundraising Manager to co-ordinate new fashion show events in the local community together with like-minded people.
We have many different roles that you can get stuck in to on the night of the event. The support needed is either event set up during the day or being on hand to greet and support guests over the duration of the evening. Typically, you will be volunteering for 5 hours, usually from 5.30pm to 10.30pm, with breaks and we will provide all food and refreshments.
Volunteers can expect to be:
- selling raffle tickets/ items during the reception
- acting as a table host and encouraging guests to bid in the silent auction and take part in fundraising games and activities.
- Taking part in our live auctions by acting as bid spotters for the auctioneer.
What you'll get:
A community of likeminded peers and the feeling that you have helped the NSPCC to achieve a successful event which will allow them to help children across the UK.
We'll support you with check in's and materials to help in your role. We will keep you updated with NSPCC information and other ways you can support.
Once you have signed up to volunteer, you will be sent further information via email.
By registering to join this session, you are consenting to your email address being shared with the NSPCC and other attendees.
We are currently unable to accept applications from under 18's to this role.
Thank you!
