Events Volunteer - #2131278

We are looking for Events Volunteers to support our fundraising and community events throughout the year. Working alongside our Fundraising team, you'll help create welcoming, enjoyable events that raise vital funds and awareness for Nugent's work.

As an Events Volunteer, you'll play an important role in helping events run smoothly while engaging with supporters, local communities and businesses. No two events are the same, and you could be supporting anything from community fundraising activities and challenge events to gala dinners, collections and seasonal campaigns. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain experience in event management, meet new people, develop new skills and make a real difference by helping raise funds that support the people who rely on Nugent's services.

Suggested Time Commitment: This role is flexible and based around our events calendar. Volunteers can choose which events they would like to support, with most opportunities taking place during evenings or weekends. We recommend a commitment of around 2–4 hours per event, although some larger events may require additional time.
