Volunteer Role Profile

Events Coordinator

About the Role

At Living Reasons, we’re reimagining fundraising and entertainment events to be more immersive, inclusive, and inspiring than ever before. From sensory-based experiences to creative challenges and accessible escape rooms, we’re breaking away from outdated models and designing events that are fun, innovative, and impactful.

The Events Coordinator will play a hands-on role in bringing these projects to life. Working closely with the Events & Entertainments Lead, you’ll help plan and deliver exciting events, ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day and that participants and supporters have a memorable experience.

This role is perfect for someone who enjoys organisation, teamwork, and creativity — someone who likes to see an idea grow into a successful event.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with the Events & Entertainments Lead to plan and deliver specific events and challenges.

• Help ensure events are well-organised, including:

  • Preparing and checking event locations

  • Allocating roles and tasks to volunteers and staff involved

  • Coordinating logistics before and during events

• Support with Health & Safety, insurance, and accessibility requirements (with guidance).

• Work as part of a team of multiple Event Coordinators, collaborating and sharing tasks.

• Take initiative in your area of responsibility, while knowing when to seek support or guidance.

• Analyse and report on the success of events, sharing feedback with the wider team to improve future activities.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.

• Ability to work as part of a team, while also being comfortable taking initiative.

• A practical, solution-focused mindset to keep events running smoothly.

• Good communication skills and a willingness to engage with volunteers, staff, and supporters.

• Enthusiasm for creativity, accessibility, and inclusivity in events.

• Reliability and a positive, can-do attitude.

What You’ll Gain

• Experience in planning and delivering creative and accessible events.

• The chance to work as part of a supportive, fun, and innovative team.

• Opportunities to develop leadership, organisation, and communication skills.

• Insight into event planning and fundraising from the inside.

• The satisfaction of knowing your work directly supports Living Reasons’ mission.
