About this Event
Join us at our Camden & Islington Summer 2024 Volunteering Fair when we are once again joining forces with our good friends @ Abbey Community Centre, 172 Belsize Road, NW6 4BJ on Wednesday 12th June, 1-3pm IN PERSON.
Did you know that volunteering is good for you? Studies show that volunteering can improve and maintain your mental and physical health, and well as helping with the effects of stress, anxiety and low self esteem. And the social contact of helping and working with others can have a profound effect on your overall psychological wellbeing. Good times.
Want to volunteer? As always, there’s no need to book. Just pop in.
*** However, if you are a non-profit that wants to recruit volunteers in Camden or Islington at the fair, then book your free place here on Eventbrite. (Please note: you only need to make ONE booking per organisation. Thanks.)
We look forward to seeing you there. ;)
FAQs
What can/can't I bring to the event? Bring any publicity materials you may have that relates to your organisation (postcards, leaflets etc). Remember you are selling your volunteering opportunities, so the more information the better!
If space allows, you will have a shared table with another organisation. If the venue is smaller, then there will be one table for publicity materials and you will move around the room chatting to volunteers more informally. This will vary from venue to venue and we will let you know the room layout when you arrive.
You can also bring banners and posters and anything else you want to make your organisation more visible. You may also want to bring your diary or sign-up sheet to schedule organisational visits or visits for your potential recruits.
Can I update my registration information? Yes! Feel free to log in make amendments at any time.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? No need! We will have your organisations' name on the registration list.
What is the refund policy? We will charge organisations £50 if you do not attend the fair AND you have not given at least three working days' notice that you will cancel your booking. For this event that means midday on Friday 7th June.
Why do I need to give three working days' notice if I cannot attend? We aim to give the best experience possible to people who take the time to attend our fairs. The more organisations that attend the fair, the more likely it is that volunteers will find their perfect volunteering role. We always have a waiting list of more than ten organisations. If we know in good time that a place has become available, there is a better chance of another organisation being able to attend on the day. This would not be possible if we allowed for late cancellations.
What happens if I am ill and cannot attend? We recommend having a back up attendee just in case you are unable to attend at the last minute.
What happens if we do not pay our non-attendance fee? Unfortunately you will not be able to attend any of our events (training, forums. volunteering fairs), until the fee is paid.
Any questions? Just ask. :)
Before the fair we will send you the full list of the organisations that will be attending
After the fair all participants will receive a follow-up email detailing how you apply for the roles and / or contact the organisations that attended the fair.
PLEASE NOTE: Tickets are only needed for non-profits that want to recruit volunteers in Camden or Islington at the fair ... If you are a person you wants to find out about volunteering, then just turn up on the day.
