London Marathon Event Volunteer London, England
Job description
Date: Sunday 23rd April 2023
Why am I needed?
The London Marathon is one of the world’s biggest and most humbling sporting events and this year we have twenty-five dedicated runners taking on this iconic event just for us! We need you to help us motivate and support our amazing runners who are aiming to raise £50,000 for us – which will go a long way to helping us support people with cancer, and their loved ones.
What will I be doing?
Event Support volunteers
Cheering on our amazing runners (and being louder than anyone else on route!)
Welcoming their families and friends to the cheer point
You may be asked to help set up our cheer station with our banners and flags.
What skills do I need?
A fun, friendly and outgoing personality
Confidence and good communication skills
Reliability, flexibility and punctuality
An enthusiasm for the work of Tenovus Cancer Care.
How much time do I need to commit?
We appreciate any time you can give, but ideally you’ll arrive at 9am and be able to stay until 4pm. Please note on your application how much time you can give.
What support will I be given?
You’ll be provided with a brief when volunteering
What benefits can I expect?
The satisfaction of knowing you’re making a vital difference to the work of Tenovus Cancer Care - especially the people who access our services
You’ll be given a Tenovus Cancer Care t-shirt to wear on the day
We’ll reimburse reasonable travel expenses in line with organisational policy
The opportunity to volunteer at an iconic event, meeting lots of new people and being part of #teamtenovus!
Where will I be based?
Our location means that we see the runners just after they’ve crossed Tower Bridge – a high point in every
runner’s race. This is a great location for atmosphere and, because the route doubles back on itself, you’ll see
them twice; first at mile 13 (half way!), and then at mile 23 to help give them the motivation they need to finish
their last few miles!
We’ll be located between the BP garage and McDonald’s on The Highway (A1203), just left of Chigwell Hill.
