Volunteer at ColourFest

Why we need you

ColourFest wouldn’t be possible without our incredible volunteers! Your time, energy, and enthusiasm make the event safe, welcoming, and fun for everyone from our youngest runners to evening festival-goers. By volunteering, you’re not just helping the event run smoothly; you’re supporting the vital work of St Margaret’s Hospice Care and helping us create a truly unforgettable day for our community.

Would this role suit you?

This role would suit someone who:

• Doesn’t mind volunteering outside
• Enjoys a lively event
• Likes meeting new people and working as part of a team
• Wants to support a great cause whilst having a great time.

What you will be doing

We’ll do our best to match you to a role that suits your interests and availability. Depending on your interests, you could be:

• Assisting at registration
• Serving refreshments for participants and their supporters
• Selling merchandise
• Helping with car parking to ensure everyone arrives and departs safely
• Celebrating the achievements of participants by handing out medals
• Event marshalling to point people in the right direction and help maintain a safe environment, so everyone has a great time.

We’d also love to hear from individuals, corporates or local community groups who can lend a hand with erecting gazebos and setting up equipment on Friday 15 May and packing down on Sunday 17 May.

What’s in it for you

Volunteering at one of our events is a truly rewarding experience. Here are just a few of the benefits;

• Meet like-minded people and make new friends
• Share a sense of pride with your local community
• Enjoy a brilliant event atmosphere
• Volunteering is great to add to your CV
• Helping raise vital funds for people with life limiting illness in Somerset.

Volunteers can also expect to receive a free meal voucher and 50% off the ticket price of the part of the day they are not volunteering at (either the daytime Colour Run or the evening Colour Festival).
