Every year, many people run, swim, hike and cycle to raise funds for Nottinghamshire Mind’s vital work. This wouldn’t be possible without the help of our volunteers. Whether it’s helping at an information stand or cheer point, helping to manage the start area, or guiding participants, event volunteers play a vital role in making events happen. Once you’re in as an event volunteer it’s easy to get hooked. For some people it’s the excitement of event day and meeting new people. For others, it’s developing new skills and being ‘behind the scenes’ at places like the London Marathon or Nottingham 10K. But most of all, our volunteers are passionate about making a difference in for people with Mental Health Issues.

You may be asked to:
• Meet and greet participants
• help set up and clear down the event
• support participants as they take part, such as by marshalling, cheering or handing out refreshments
• help with administration and managing the start/finish areas
• welcome participants over the finish line and give out medals.
• Assist with a fundraising stand such as tombola, raffle, craft or merchandise.
• Assist with information stands.

This role does require the volunteer to have a volunteer DBS check.
