We organise and run events to raise awareness, educate and fundraise. There are many opportunities to assist on a stall or at an event where we are present.
It can involve all aspects of being at an event from stall holding, to set up, to speaking to the public. It is a role that can allow you to be involved in a great cause, even if your free time is a bit more limited, and is still very much valued.
