Overview
Volunteer Events Team member
Every year hundreds of people do incredible things to raise funds for Dogs for Good’s vital work. That’s tens of thousands of pounds raised every year. This wouldn’t be possible without the help of our volunteers and staff.
Whether it’s manning a cheering point, running a fete or show, helping to manage the start area, or guiding participants, event volunteers play a vital role in making events happen. And 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’. But most of all our volunteers are passionate about making a difference.
