Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
For the first time in several years the Battersea Arts Centre is able to restart its tradition of hosting a Christmas Day party at Battersea Arts Centre this year offering a fun and magical celebration for those local families and residents who may struggle, financially or emotionally, with the festive season.
They need help from volunteers to support them on the day. Without it they would not be able to offer this event out to local people who may be struggling this year.
The event will take place in the Grand Hall on Christmas day and guests will be referred through local networks and organisations.
Could you join as a volunteer on the day? If so, they need support in the following areas:
· Welcoming guests
· Decorating and setting up
· Helping us to serve lunch
· Managing the cloakroom
· Assisting with transport
· Entertainment
· General pastoral care
· Clearing down
Timings (approximate at present)

· Morning (9am – 2pm approx.)
· Afternoon (12noon – 5pm approx.)

To find out more, or to sign up as a volunteer please contact volunteers@bac.org.uk or 0207 223 2223 by Monday 21 November

What to look out for
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs

There's space to change and leave bags and toilets.
