About this session
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.

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
