The More the Merrier – Volunteering with Friends, Families and Colleagues

We love people to volunteer in groups, so if you know anyone else (perhaps family, friends, work colleagues or teammates or even book club mates) who would be willing to give up some time to support this fantastic cause, invite them to join you for an unforgettable night. We guarantee that groups will be kept together, to ensure a night of fun and lots of laughter!

How do I get a group of Volunteers together?

The first step is having the passion for Walk the Walk… this will beam out of you when you’re talking to others and inspire them to join you! We can provide downloadable posters and entry forms for you to display in staff rooms, attach to emails or hand out to friends and family! Just email our Volunteers team!

If you want to stay together… simply fill in registration form and when it asks if you are Volunteering with others, write the names of your team members, even if they haven’t signed up yet. If you would like to sign up a team of 20+ Volunteers, please get in touch with the Volunteer Team.

What roles are suitable for a team of Volunteers?

Teams can join almost every role at a MoonWalk. Groups most commonly join the Route, Service Station and Baggage Teams as Volunteers work together as a close knit team… sometimes under pressure!

What are the benefits of Volunteering as a team?

Sharing this incredible experience with people you know is lots of fun, with memories made… you will be talking about the night’s sleep you gave up to unite against breast and other cancers for years to come!

Team Volunteering has many advantages including a sense of collaboration and achievement, it strengthens friendships and forms connections on an emotional and personal level. From travelling to The MoonWalk on the train as a group to directing Walkers safely through the streets at night, it really does bring you together!

“You had to be really organised for everything to run smoothly, but the most important part of being a team player at the service station was keeping everyone energised and ready for the walkers as the night went on into morning. We kept each other going!” – Jess

How do I get my workplace involved?

Organisations are becoming more aware of the huge benefits Employer Supported Volunteering has on their workforce, improving productivity and learning and developing new skills. We’d be delighted to welcome a team from your workplace, and we can help you every step of the way by providing you with:

• Promotional materials in a physical or virtual format
