Muscular Dystrophy UK
Founded in 1959, Muscular Dystrophy UK have been leading the fight against muscle-wasting conditions since then.We bring together more than 60 rare and very rare progressive muscle-weakening and wasting conditions, affecting around 110,000 children and adults in the UK.
Description

We're looking for volunteers who are available to help at our Microscope Ball on Thursday 26th September.

We're excited for the return of our evening and gala dinner fundraising events this Autumn. These events are an opportunity to raise vital funds in our fight against muscle-wasting conditions, and they wouldn't be possible without the support of organised, friendly and passionate volunteers.

Why should I volunteer?

You'll gain experience in event organisation, boost your CV, meet new people and help out at a range of fun events. All while helping to raise money to support people living with muscle-wasting conditions! 

Duties

Your role is to support our Events team to ensure the evenings run smoothly. Tasks could include:

  • Selling raffle tickets
  • Acting as a table host
  • Supporting guests to bid on a silent auction
  • Helping guests to take part in fundraising games
Who will the volunteers be working with?
You'll be working closely with other MDUK staff and volunteers, as well as members of the general public who attend the events.
Training
Full briefing will be provided ahead of each event, and you can always reach out to our Events team with any questions. They will also be on hand to support throughout the night.

Time commitment

Volunteers would need to be available from around 5pm - 11pm. There will also be a briefing which will take place online around a week before and shouldn't take more than one hour.
You could stay on later to help support colleagues running the after party but this is entirely optional.
Application deadline

This organisation is one of our community partner organisations.

Like all volunteer recruiters we work with, they have signed up to our service standards, agreeing to abide by our policy on partnership working to keep you safe and supported whilst you volunteer.

You’ll never be out of pocket for volunteering through us – with in-London travel expenses to and from your volunteering guaranteed.

In addition, the team here at Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service is here to support you throughout your volunteering journey – you can get in touch with us at any time.
