Volunteer Role Description – Stonewall Season
Volunteer role purpose / Stonewall Season, supported by Visa, is a week of events right across Britain, led by our supporters, in their workplaces, community, local businesses, places of worships, schools, universities, colleges and much more.During the last Stonewall Season, thousands of LGBT people came together, alongside our allies, and made a big noise for equality. More than 80 different events took place across 22 towns and cities to celebrate LGBT life and culture: and in 2017, together we will make it bigger than ever.
We are looking for volunteer fundraisers who are keen to support Stonewall Season by attending events to take high quality photographs and film of the events, to ask for testimonies/quotes from event attendees and their permission to use these in marketing materials, to support on delivering resources to event organisers and to provide general support to event organisers at the event as appropriate such as putting up posters, collecting donations using buckets or tins, handing out resources etc.
