Call for Volunteers
Join our dedicated and friendly volunteer team to help support this popular community event and raise funds for London Search and Rescue.
No matter how much (or little!) time you have to offer we have a flexible role for you. This year we’re looking to divide our task list up into smaller roles. Just a couple of hours even as a one off would be a great help.
Dog show team
Could you help with registrations on the day? Or help organise the rosettes and prizes?
Parade team
Part of a school or local group? Be the contact for your organisation. Look fabulous in HIgh-Viz? Join the parade as part of stewarding team
Social media
Can you help us plan and post great content and reach more people?
Communications
Could you put up local posters?
Do you have local press contacts?
Are you part of a community group or school and can help spread the word?
Fundraising team
Are you happy to visit local businesses and ask for support?
Could you help at a fundraising event?
Perhaps you’re a dab hand at bid writing!?
Treasurer
We’re looking for a new member of our dedicated and supportive volunteer team to:
Support Chair and Committee to complete funding and spend reports
Keep our accounts in good order (cash basis)
Issue invoices and keep track of incoming payments.
Be jointly responsible (with Chair) for bank account and authorising payments.
To find out more about getting involved contact:
