We need volunteers to support with one of our annual fundraising events. The quiz night is made up of several different rounds and is a fun evening of quizzing and fundraising. This event is a very popular fundraiser for Mencap, so we really need the help of volunteers to help it run smoothly!
As a volunteer, you’ll be helping run the events, including:
- Welcome guests
- Venue set up
- Selling raffle tickets
- Hosting tables
- Help to tidy away
When and where will the event take place?
The event takes place on Thursday 9th April in Chelsea (a short walk from Knightsbridge tube station), and we are looking for volunteers to support us with the set up from 2-5:30pm, and then to help us host the event from 5:30 -10:30pm.
As this event involves alcohol, this role is only available for people over the age of 18. You will also need to wear smart black clothes and comfy shoes whilst volunteering at this event.
It is a really fun event to be a part of with a variety of different roles on the night, you could be a host of a table, a greeter, sell raffle tickets, serve drinks and more!
You will get the chance to learn more about Mencap and Learning Disabilities, whilst also gaining vital people and interpersonal skills (such as greeting, community with clients, upselling) that can be taken to future jobs.

- Friendly and Approachable
- Reliable, Kind and Patient
