We're on the lookout for passionate volunteers to join us at one of our events on Thursday April 3rd. As a volunteer on the day you’ll be part of an amazing atmosphere and will support Mencap to make change through raising funds and engaging with your local community.
We need volunteers to support with one of our annual fundraising events, a fun challenge for both wine tasting amateurs and enthusiasts. Made up of several rounds, teams will have to figure out which wine expert from the panel is telling the truth about the origin and grape of each wine they taste. This event is a very popular fundraiser for Mencap, so we really need the help of volunteers to help it run smoothly!
When and where will the event take place?
The event takes place on Thursday 3rd April in Chelsea (a short walk from Sloane Square tube station), and we are looking for volunteers to support us with the set up from 2-5:30pm, and then to help us host the event from 5:30 -10:30pm.
As this event involves serving alcohol, this role is only available for people over the age of 18. You will also need to wear smart black clothes and comfy shoes whilst volunteering at this event.
Our events are vital to Mencap, bringing people together to share experiences, launch programmes and celebrate successes! They also often help to raise funds for our services, such as the Learning Disability Helpline, advocacy services, and national campaigns such as "Do You See Me?".
We couldn't run these events without the support of volunteers, so by giving a few hours of your time you can help us to host events, raise vital funds to support Mencap's work and support people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives.
You'll be part of a diverse and inclusive team alongside volunteers with and without a learning disability. You will represent Mencap and help to promote our work and raise awareness for people with a learning disability at iconic events across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
