About this opportunity: | A bank of volunteers required to help with running of local fundraising events as part of Bethany's national fundraising campaigns. these are one-off or annual events usually with a homeless theme such as the Big Sleepout in March. Volunteers can serve customers and event participants and can be tasked with anything from making drinks to adminstration to manning a microphone on the event days. There is usually an opportunity for a volunteer to participate directly in the events as well, so our volunteers don't miss out on the fun!
