• Manning stalls at community events, fairs or markets
• Helping with donation boxes or bucket collections

• Willingness to help at events throughout the year, when available
• Happy to interact with members of the public
• Flexible and able to commit on an ad-hoc basis
• No previous events or fundraising experience required
