Fundraising roles
Volunteers at Challenge Events
We host many events from survival challenges, 4x4 driving and running Marathons. We require people to help out at running events by cheering ?Team Guide Dogs?, we will provide you with T-shirts hats, banners etc?
All of our challenge events are open to visually impaired people and we need more volunteer guide runners (to run alongside a visually impaired person whilst they undertake a running event). We also require tandem riders to partner a visually impaired cyclist taking part in one of our challenges. Qualified first aiders are also needed to help out at our events as well as Marshals steering people in the right direction.
