Volunteering. How you can help and how to donate
We would like more volunteers for The Walk itself. We need marshals, greeters, water carriers and people to help set everything up and take it away afterwards. The Walk takes a great deal of organising, before, during and after the event itself, any help at any stage is gratefully accepted. The Walk is usually in the first half of May. If you think you can help then email w4lifesweet@btinternet.com
If you can help by donating, however little, then there are several ways to do this. Look out for our collection boxes. You will find them in businesses around the area and you can make your purse or pocket lighter by getting rid of those awkward little coins. If you are a business and would like to have a box or if you are a member of a club or group that meet regularly and could take a box in with you email w4lifesweet@btinternet.com Every little helps.
You can also donate at any of our regular events, The Walk in May, The Annual Dinner Dance or the February bowling event that Phil of the Arboleas Forum organizes, one of Glad Rags Fashion Shows. Please try to attend our own and supporting events, all donations from them help us to continue the charity’s work.
