Volunteers Introduction

Volunteers are recruited to help with a range of tasks to support the work of the charity

The first area is fundraising and promotion of the charity. This role involves supporting events, such as collections at local festivals, and researching and contacting potential sponsors.

The second area is supporting the educational work undertaken by Sailaday. This involves helping with the preparation of materials, presentations and research.

The third area where volunteers can support the charity is in the maintenance of the boat and equipment in the winter months. This gives a valuable opportunity to learn about boat management.

The fourth and most advanced area is assisting the Project Manager with Sailaday sessions. Our aim is to develop an additional post in due course, starting initially with training on a voluntary basis.
