We're on the lookout for passionate volunteers to join us at one of our events on Thursday April 10th. 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. The quiz night is made up of several different rounds and is a fun evening of quizzing and fundraising. This event is a very popular fundraiser for Mencap, so we really need the help of volunteers to help it run smoothly!

As a volunteer, you’ll be helping run the events, including:

  • Welcome guests
  • Venue set up
  • Selling raffle tickets
  • Hosting tables
  • Help to tidy away

When and where will the event take place?

The event takes place on Thursday 10th April in Chelsea (a short walk from Knightsbridge 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 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.
