Volunteering

WHERE will the activity take place?

Once you’ve decided what your activity is going to be and who it’s for, you’ll need to think about how many people are going to be involved and where you’re going to hold it.

Here are some points you’ll need to think about.

• Is there a school/community centre/church hall/townhall I can use? Ask the local council for help and suggestions.
• Do I need access to the venue in advance (for setting up, etc.)?
• Do I need to contact the local council/police (e.g. for a sponsored walk or bed-push through a town centre) to ensure public safety?
• How do I get everyone and everything there?
• Is there enough access, particularly for the disabled and elderly?
• Will there be space to store and set up equipment?
• Will it be Health & Safety compliant?
• Will there be enough space for a car?
