Demelza Children's Hospice is bringing a splash of colour to Avery Hill Park with its fantastic Rainbow Run, a fun-filled fundraising event for families, and they need our help to make it a success!

They are looking for volunteers to support the event across the day. Whether you can spare a few hours or stay for longer, your help will make a real difference to this vibrant community event raising vital funds for Demelza's incredible work.

There are two volunteer shifts to choose from:

Pre-event setup (7.00am–10.00am) Help bring the Rainbow Run to life before the first runners arrive by:

  • Setting up the colourful paint stations
  • Putting up gazebos and tables in the event village
  • Marking out the run route

During the event (9.00am–1.00pm) Be part of the action and help create an unforgettable experience by:

  • Staffing the colour stations, showering runners with brightly coloured powder and cheering them on
  • Helping at the fundraising stalls
  • Supporting visitors at the information tent *Bringing plenty of enthusiasm and helping to create a fun, welcoming atmosphere for everyone

📍When and where

The event is in Avery Hill Park - head for the Cafe (What3Words location: precautions.cubes.forget) and the Rainbow Run event village will be nearby.

Please arrive by 7am if you are helping set up the event, or 9am if you are helping during the run itself.
