Events Volunteer

Do you love meeting people and being part of the action? As an Event Volunteer, you’ll represent Canine Partners at local events throughout the year, helping to raise awareness, chatting to attendees, taking donations, and supporting on-the-day activities like setting up, selling raffle tickets, and packing down.

There is no minimum commitment for the role. Times will vary depending on the requirements of the event. You will be provided with an event brief beforehand to ensure you’re happy with the requirements for that particular activity.

What's involved:



  • Raising awareness of Canine Partners by speaking to event attendees

  • Promoting fundraising activities at the event (selling raffle tickets, etc)

  • Handing out leaflets, taking donations

  • Set up and pack away on event day

  • Passing on any leads to the Community Fundraising team


Access to your own transport with flexibility to visit different locations is required. Most opportunities require standing for the duration of the session and/or being in a busy environment. Please advise if you have any concerns about this in order to best support you.


Experience required

Polite, confident and personable manner.
