Volunteering - The MoonWalk London

Saturday 17 May | Evening Crew | Approx 6pm - Midnight

Get stuck in the fun as the MoonWalk kicks off at Clapham Common! Welcome Walkers or Volunteers to the iconic MoonWalk Arena, helping to check them in, direct them around the site and look after the bag drop. Or head out to the streets, helping to set up and prepare our route for the arrival of our thousands of brave Walkers! There are so many different roles to get involved with! 

Saturday 17 May | Overnight Crew | Approx 8pm - Flexible

With roles based both in MoonWalk Arena and out on the route, this is the perfect opportunity to cheer on all of our wonderful Walkers! Plus, if you have any friends or family taking on the challenge a hug and a cheer from a friendly face goes a long way and you can even watch them cross the Finish Line!

Sunday 18 May | Morning Crew | Approx 5.30am - Midday

Are you an early bird who likes to wake up to a sunrise-challenge… then this is for you! Support our Walkers towards the end of their journey... the most testing and inspirational part of their night! 

Take on the Night! 

You are welcome to choose any of the times above, or if you are feeling inspired, you can sign up for all three and experience the whole MoonWalk from sunset to sunrise!

Walk the Walk came into being 26 years ago when just 13 Inspirational Women Power Walked the New York City Marathon in their bras to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. Since then the camaraderie of Walkers and Volunteers that unite with us, has helped us raise more than £142 million for breast cancer!

In order to successfully organise and run our amazing events, such as the MoonWalk London and MoonWalk Scotland, we attract hundreds of Volunteers, across a range of 20 different roles!

John C. Maxwell once said “Teamwork makes the dream work”… that certainly is the case at Walk the Walk! Our events would not be able to go ahead without the dedication and support of our fantastic Volunteers.

All of our amazing Volunteers join the Walk the Walk family for many different reasons, but what is certain is that we are so grateful for each and every one of them... 

Also Volunteering your time and support can offer a whole host of benefits to your mental health. Check out one of our blogs, which lists just some of the amazing reasons to get involved and start Volunteering!

Once you have completed your registration form you will receive an email officially welcoming you to the Walk the Walk Volunteer Team!

From then on and in the lead-up to May, the Volunteer Team will be on hand to help with any questions you may have as well as keeping you up to date as we prepare for our MoonWalk London!

Your role, start time and everything you need to know about being part of The MoonWalk London will be sent to you digitally a few weeks before the event. We will also be hosting a Virtual Volunteer Webinar to cover all things MoonWalk and answer any questions that pop up along the way. This session will be recorded and made available to watch at a time to suit you.

Our Volunteers come from all over to support at the MoonWalks!

As this is an overnight event, where your finish time may be in the early hours of the morning, we strongly encourage you to check your route before you travel as most public transport does not run through the night.

MoonWalk London is located on Clapham Common, London SW4 9DE.

We advise all Volunteers to travel to Clapham Common via public transport to avoid congestion in the area. There are lots of different ways to get to us including: 

Train

Clapham Common is easily accessible from all major railway stations via the Underground, located on the Northern Line (South), which runs all night. 

Bus

The nearest stops are Rookery Road, stops N and Y, and are served by routes 35, 37, 137 and 345.

With help planning your journey via public transport... Plan your journey here!

Am I registered yet?

If you are unsure please contact the Volunteer Team at [email protected] or call on 01483 741430.

When will I find out what I am doing?

Your role, start time and everything you need to know about being part of The MoonWalk London will be sent to you digitally a few weeks before the event. This year we will also be a Virtual Volunteer Webinar to cover all things MoonWalk and answer any questions you may have. This session will be recorded and made available to watch at a time to suit you. 

Can I change my role?

We always try to match people with a role we think they will love and works for them. Each and every one of our roles play an important part in making the MoonWalk an unforgettable night! However, if you do find that you have not been teamed up with your friends, or the timings do not work for you, please get in touch with the Volunteer Team on [email protected]  and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Can we Volunteer as part of a team?

Yes definitely! Don't just keep this incredible night to yourself, encourage friends, family and colleagues to join you!

Can you put together a work or social team of Volunteers? Fancy tackling a Zone or Service Station as one team? Speak to the Volunteer Team to talk about how we can help your dream become a reality!

Will I be in the same team as my friends?

If you have told us the names of the people you would like to Volunteer with on your registration form, then you will automatically be placed in the same team. If you would like to add other/new Volunteers or make any changes please email [email protected] with your request.

Can under 18's Volunteer?

Yes! Young Volunteers are very welcome provided they are at least 13 years old on the day of the event. Volunteers between 13 and 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult Volunteer and will remain in MoonWalk Arena throughout their time with us. Under 18's are not permitted to Volunteer Overnight or out on the Route.

Am I able to turn up, or bring someone with me to Volunteer, on the night?

We strongly recommend that you register to Volunteer and that anyone who plans to come along with you also registers. We need to know your details in advance in order to allocate you the best role, as well as send out all the essential information you need prior to the event.

If you do not register then the security team will not be able to give you access to the site... which we don't want to happen!

If you would like to turn up on the night, it isn’t a problem, please email [email protected] or call 01483 741430 for further information – if you call during the event, the voicemail system will give you details of the Volunteer Hotline for The MoonWalk London.

Can I collect sponsorship?

Yes, we would be delighted if you collect sponsorship – Volunteering is challenging, rewarding and eminently deserving of fundraising. However, we place no expectation on our Volunteers to raise sponsorship. Your commitment of time in support of vital breast and other cancer causes and thousands of Walkers is invaluable to us. 

Is there a poster I can download?

Our MoonWalk London 2025 Poster will be coming soon... so please check back!

What do I do if I can no longer Volunteer?

We understand that things happen and life can sometimes get in the way… all we ask is that you let us know as soon as possible. If you need to cancel your Volunteering role, please email the Volunteer Team at [email protected].

If you would still like to Volunteer at The MoonWalk London but need to change your availability, please email or call us on 01483 741430 and ask to speak with the Volunteer Team to discuss how we can best help with this.
