Our annual Lantern Walk is one of the most important events in the Guy's Gift calendar, bringing bereaved families together to remember someone who has died in a safe, supportive environment.
We're looking for volunteers to help make the afternoon and evening run smoothly and create a warm welcome for every family who attends.
There are a variety of roles available, including:
Welcoming families as they arrive and helping with registration.
Helping with event set up before families arrive.
Supporting the indoor remembrance activity, including meeting and talking with families.
Helping in the refreshments area by serving drinks and refreshments to families after the walk.
Marshalling the Lantern Walk route.
Assisting with packing away and tidying up at the end of the event.
Whether you can help with one role or are happy to lend a hand wherever needed, your support will make a real difference to the experience of the families attending.
No previous experience is needed, and you'll receive a full briefing before the event.
