Some things to remember as you volunteer.
As more and more opportunities open up for “on site” volunteering, there are a number of things we wanted to remind you to consider as a part of your Volunteering commitment.
|
|
|
|
| |
RSVP
Because space is limited in many instances, please remember to RSVP to the organisation so that they can plan around the numbers of volunteers they are able to have on site at any one time. If you are unable to attend after having sent an RSVP, please contact the organisation to advise them.
|
|
MASKS
We are all required by law to wear a mask in public spaces, please be sure to wear a mask when you volunteer.
The organisations will do all possible to provide facilities for you to wash your hands, but we recommend that you take your own hand sanitiser as a precaution.
|
LOG HOURS
Please remember to log your volunteering hours as soon after your volunteering activity as possible. This allows us to help you to have your hours verified quickly, and for you to keep your Volunteering CV up to date and measure your community engagement on an ongoing basis.

There are no parking problems, no crowds and no long Porta Potty lines. There is no start gun or nervous, pre-race chitchat with other athletes. There’s not even an official starting line!
All of this AND supporting Kids Haven too – it is a 67 minute Win Win!
