There are various roles available on the day, including:
Optional: Before the event, you can support the local marketing in the run-up to the event, by sharing flyers and posters with local organisations and businesses.
You don’t need any specific skills or experience – you just need to be friendly and enthusiastic, with a can-do attitude. We’ll give you all the information you’ll need before you start your role.
Our One Walk events take place throughout the year. You can see the programme for the One Walk events throughout 2025 in the section below.
We’ll only need you on the day of the event, and shifts can vary from 2 to 6 hours. We ask you to arrive for a volunteer briefing at 8.30am, and we aim to be all finished by 3pm.
Our One Walk events take place all over the UK. Take a look at the dates and venues for our One Walk events throughout 2025 below. You can use this form to tell us which events you’re interested in volunteering at.
