Opportunity Summary

Kami Bear’s Teddy Trail is back for its second year — and it’s bigger and better than ever! Join us for a fun-filled day as families make their way through Glasgow’s beautiful West End, helping our beloved mascot, Kami Bear, find his missing walking gear. At the start/finish line, there’ll be stalls, activities, and funfair rides to enjoy — before and after walkers take on the 5K or 10K route!

This is our biggest community event of the year, and we need your help to make it a huge success. We’re on the lookout for 50 enthusiastic volunteers to join our team and help marshal the route and cheer on walkers as they pass. If you're ready to be part of something special and help bring smiles to hundreds of faces, sign up today and let’s make this an event to remember!
