Availability Details
We are looking to build a pool of volunteers who can sign up to regular events. Events are ad hoc and run at different times. For example, we are very busy with Christmas fairs in December, fetes and shows in the spring/summer, family and children's events in the school holidays, and community events in the evenings or weekends. Events may be held on weekends or weekdays, but you can sign up in advance according to your availability. Ideally, once trained you would commit to assisting with at least 2 events within the first 6 months.
