About this role
This role is ad hoc/flexible.
What will I need to do?
Due to the popularity of the Rainbows mascot, Bow Bear, their diary is quickly filling up. We are
looking for volunteers with a sense of fun and energy who can wear the Bow Bear costume for
marketing purposes and at events across the East Midlands. Bow Bear is hugely important at
raising the Rainbows profile, upholding the values of Rainbows and spreading fun and happiness
to everyone they meet.
Typical tasks the role could involve:
- Step into the spotlight as Bow Bear at a variety of exciting events!
- Be a star! Pose for photos and shine in videos to support our Marketing Team.
- Champion our cause! Raise awareness and amplify Rainbows’ impact, strengthening our
identity and brand. - Spread joy and laughter! Engage with people nonverbally, creating memorable
moments and lasting smiles.
Will it suit me?
This volunteer position is ideal if you enjoy attending events and are friendly, outgoing,
confident, and enthusiastic. This opportunity would also be suited to a group of friends wanting
to volunteer together as you can take turns being Bow Bear or serve as Bow Bear’s
guide/helpers. You will need to be strong and physically fit to be able to stand for a period of
time because of the weight of the costume, although regular breaks will be provided.
