Why You'll Love It: 

Being a cheer squad volunteer is great fun too…

 

“I had a BRILLIANT day! There was so much energy at our cheer point… from the minute we turned the music on at 10am until we reluctantly started packing away at 3pm. We had pom poms and tambourines and whistles and our voices, and we were the loudest and most enthusiastic charity team along our strip.” (London Marathon Cheer Squad volunteer 2023)
