Help with our events
Could you be a Make-A-Wish event volunteer?
It's not just the people taking part in our events who are helping us grant magical wishes – YOU can too!
Make-A-Wish supporters take part in many different events during the year, for example major running events such as the Virgin London Marathon and our flagship Balls, and we are always looking for volunteers to help us out with roles as diverse as marshalling, helping to hand out tea, or being part of the cheering squad.
We try to ensure that all our event participants really enjoy Make-A-Wish events and feel 100% supported and looked after at all times. Our volunteers have important roles to play in the success of our events and are a vital part in making this happen.
For some events, we ask for a few hours; for others we look for volunteers who can donate weekends. We will pay your travel expenses and will keep you fed and happy!
Some of the jobs that we need help with are:
• Helping to register competitors
• Handing out water
• Cheering and boosting morale
• Being visible and available to anyone who needs assistance
• Clearing up any litter, lost property etc. after the event
• Providing information
• Guiding supporters
• Responding to queries from members of the public
Most of all – your job will be to create a great Make-A-Wish atmosphere and help those who are taking part to enjoy themselves!
