We think that everyone who helps raise money for vulnerable and
neglected young people deserves a cheer. Which is why we’re looking for
people to help cheer on our runners at the Virgin London Marathon on
Sunday 25 April.
We’ll bring the whistles, clackers, t-shirts and flags; we just need you!
"Last year was my second visit to the London marathon and I found the
whole event exhilarating. I went as a volunteer supporter for Action
for Children and wearing the charity t-shirt and armed with the cheer
gear, I felt part of a team that made a real difference encouraging the
runners who were raising money for the charity. Definitely an
experience to recommend!" Alysha Lawlor, volunteer
Or are you an exhibitionist?
We also have a stand at the marathon exhibition from 21 April to
24 April at the ExCel centre in Docklands and are looking for
volunteers to help run it.
You would help us to greet our marathon runners, encourage future
challenge participants to join the Action for Children running team and
support us with some fundraising on the stand.
If you are available to help out any time during these days, we would love to hear from you.
“There was such a buzz at the Expo, the day went by so quickly. It
was great to be able to meet so many runners and chat to them about
their support for Action for Children, what motivates them and how they
had been raising the sponsorship. We also brought on board a couple of
new supporters who weren't running for a charity, but then chose to run
for us after hearing about our work. A great day!” Gill Smith,
volunteer
