Volunteer Opportunities – Papworth Trust


The Tourist Information office in central Cambridge have given us the opportunity to sell Papworth Trust Christmas cards. We are very excited about this as it is the first time we have been able to make our Christmas cards available like this. To ensure that it goes well and that we get this opportunity next year we need some volunteers to help out on an occasional, or one off basis. The Tourist information office is open from 10am until 4.45pm each day Monday until Saturday, and they will be selling charity Christmas cards from now until December 19th. The shop is warm and there will be volunteers from other charities there too. Would you be willing to help us out for a few hours or half a day during half term or at the weekend?
Tesco’s in Milton have offered us the chance to do a collection outside their store on Sunday December 7th. We are looking for a couple of volunteers for each 2 hour slot: 9-11am, 11-1pm 1-3pm and 3-5pm. Could spare us  some time? We will provide a T-shirt -all you need is a friendly smile!
Downing College have again generously given us the use of their car park for a few days before Christmas – this gives us the opportunity to charge Christmas shoppers for their parking for the day. We are looking for people to help staff the car park in 2 hour blocks on December 20th, 21st and 24th. We raised over £1,500 last year! Hot drinks are available but dress up warmly!
If you are willing to help us out with any of these activities please email jane.mumford@papworth.org.uk
