CHAS event volunteer - Boo-gie at the Bello - Portobello Town Hall Halloween Ceilidh

Volunteering details

As a member of CHASfest, the CHAS Fundraising Events Support Team, you can help us out in lots of ways - you just pick the events that suit you and your diary.

You can volunteer as often as you like and choose to do the things you like, or to try something completely new. Whether that's cheering on runners and walkers at events like the Edinburgh Marathon or one of the Kiltwalks, taking on a short shift at a community stall to raise awareness, shaking a bucket at a public collection or even helping out at a pop-up shop, we’re sure you’ll find something to suit you.

You just choose your event from the opportunities listed in your regular CHASfest email and sign up online to choose your shift. And you can even bring a friend.
