FAQs: Volunteering to support at the Walk of Light
The minimum age for this role is 18.
Supporting at the Walk of Light is an unpaid voluntary role, however, you can claim for pre-arranged volunteer expenses.
We’d love for you to bring your friends and family along on the day to cheer on our event participants! We just ask that each person registers as a volunteer so we can keep track of numbers, ensure we have enough t-shirts for everyone, and so they’re able to claim back any expenses.
