Events Volunteer
Organisation: Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity
Location: Various
Minimum Age: 16
Opportunity Summary
Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity host lots of varied events and activities throughout the year and these are only possible with the support of our amazing volunteers. From holding a bucket outside Hampden Stadium to helping children with arts and crafts at Silverburn, we have something for everyone! What's great too is that this role is very flexible, you pick and choose what you would like to be involved in and the time you can give to that activity.
We fundraise through our events to ensure that every baby, child and young person treated at Scotland's largest children's hospital receives the extra special care they deserve. We raise funds to help those who tirelessly care for and nurture young lives at their most vulnerable; to invest in equipment, research and the continued improvement of facilities and services for children and families in hospital.
