There are a range of shifts available, and we’d be especially grateful to anyone who is able to assist with set-up alongside the morning shift, or the afternoon shift through to pack-down. However, any help is greatly appreciated!

Commitment is ad-hoc depending on when the events are planned to run and we can be flexible about when you are able to commit your time. All we ask is that volunteers for events are reliable and on time for the commitments they have agreed with us. If, for any reason, you are no longer able to make it, we would appreciate if you could let us know as soon as possible.
