Growing Hope attend lots of conferences throughout the year sharing our vision for free therapy clinics in the hope of raising financial support, engagement with our Christian Therapists Forum, or potential trainees for our parent/sibling support courses. We tend to focus on Christian conferences or school-focused conferences.
This opportunity would allow the volunteer to attend the conference for free, whilst running the exhibiting stall either during the breaks or as part of a rota. There are both day conferences and weekend/week long festivals which we attend. For overnight stays, food and accomodation is provided and you wouldn't be expected to work longer than 8 hours on the exhibiting stall.
Volunteer would ideally be someone confident in speaking to strangers and intuitive.
Duties
Collecting resources from main office (either Caledonian Road or Kentish Town). These are usually in a backpack or a wheeled duffle bag.
Travelling to conference (ideally local, but could be further afield, travel is covered)
Setting up exhibition stall including assembling clip-together shelving unit, setting out flyers and logging into appropriate tech such as ipad for newsletter signup and zettle for online payments.
Talking to interested parties about the different ways to get involved with Growing Hope. This would include enthusing support of Growing Hope, deciphering which project they would be most interested in and then handing over appropriate resources.
