Community Events Volunteer

We’re looking for people who are friendly and great at dealing with people to help us with a variety of activities around Nottingham. This could mean signing people into an event, doing bucket collections, being our Robin mascot, or marshalling participants around a course.

This opportunity would suit people who are looking for a flexible role that they can get involved in whenever it suits them. These activities can take place at the weekends, in the evenings or sometimes during the day.

As a Community Events Volunteer you will be the friendly face of the Charity, helping to raise awareness with the public and making our events run as smoothly as possible.

A few examples of what you could get involved in:

Robin Run at Sherwood Pines: marshal the 10k, 5k and 1k routes and give out medals on the finish line.

QMC abseil help with setting up the event, moving equipment and signposting people to the registration area.

Italian School Christmas Fair: collect entry fees, set up a stall to give out information and sell Christmas Cards

Charity Ball: engage with attendees of the ball, providing information and doing a raffle.

Nottingham Panthers games: Attend one of the games to help us raffle off a Panthers Jersey and encourage people to sign up to our newsletter or make a donation.

Breakfast with Santa: help us get everything ready for our special visitor, serve refreshments and help with activities.

All the things we do help towards raising around £4million per year which goes towards improving patient care at Nottingham’s Hospitals. We fund medical research, purchase state-of-the-art equipment, invest in staff development and improve facilities for patients and their families.
