Venue Volunteer - Shine Night Walk - London - 23rd September 2023

Why we need you:

Having the amazing support and endless enthusiasm of some friendly faces truly makes Shine an unforgettable experience. Join the Shine Volunteer Team and help us to beat cancer.

What will I be doing?

At Shine we manage two crucial venues – the start and the finish – and we need your help to offer the support, attention and care to our participants that they need.  Love meeting new people and working as a team? Then this is the role for you!

There are all kinds of activities to get involved with; from putting up marquees and banners, replenishing stock or helping with our bag drop service, as well as cheering and directing walkers from the start line and celebrating their final few steps through the finish line.

‘The experience of doing something worthwhile with thousands of unselfish people was amazing. I shared their joy and pain and wish I could've stayed until the last person came through. A fantastic and fun time and I can't wait to volunteer again.’

Richard, Finish Venue Volunteer
