Event Crew - One Walk Falkirk

Volunteering details

Our Event Crew is a team of volunteers who support us in making sure our Breakthrough T1D events run like clockwork. They help us raise as much awareness about living with type 1 diabetes, and money for life-changing research, as they can.

On Sunday 1 June, we are hosting a fundraising event called One Walk at Falkirk FC grounds on Sunday 1 June. Volunteers will be vital for helping the day run smoothly. There are various roles available on the day, including:


  • Setting up in the Event Village before walkers arrive.

  • Registering walkers as they arrive, and handing out their t-shirts.

  • Leading or stewarding the walkers along the route to make sure they're going in the right direction.

  • Looking after the merchandise stall, or handing out information about Breakthrough T1D.

  • Handing out finishers medals when walkers return to the Event Village at the end of their walk.


If you think you can spare a few hours on Sunday 1 June to help out, then please do get in touch!
