What will I be doing?

Every year hundreds of volunteers run, swim, hike, cycle and support to help raise funds for Lindsey Lodge and their vital work, and this wouldn’t be possible without the help of our wonderful volunteers.
Whether it’s manning a cheering checkpoint, helping to manage a start area or collecting with a bucket at the supermarket, our events volunteers play a vital role in making events happen.
Once you’re in as an events volunteer it’s easy to get hooked.  For some people it’s the excitement of event day and meeting new people.  For others it’s developing new skills and being more behind the scenes.  All of our volunteers are passionate about the cause and that’s what makes the difference.
