Events Volunteer - Three Counties Garden Fete

Volunteer at Acorns Three Counties Hospice Garden Fete on Sunday 9th March

At Acorns we provide care and support for life limited or life threatened children and their families. We are a charity, and our fundraising is vital to enable us to continue providing care and support to the children: it costs around £10 million a year to run our care services.

• Refreshments: Serve up smiles along with food and drinks, ensuring everyone stays refreshed.
• Car Park Marshals: Help guests park smoothly and stress-free.
• Gazebo Setup and Takedown: Lend a hand to create the festive atmosphere and pack it away after the event. (Lend a hand on Friday 7th March)
• Health & Safety Officers required
