LOROS Hospice is a local charity and every year we care for over 2,500 people across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. We deliver free, high-quality, compassionate care and support to terminally ill patients, their family and carers. We deliver care that is special and unique to each individual
We are looking for some ele-fantastic volunteers to join the herd! Are you looking to get involved in something innovative and exciting this summer? Then you’re in the right place.
The Tusk Force will be an integral part of the art trail and the public face of LOROS throughout Stomp Round Leicester. You will be vital in helping the public understand what the art project is and LOROS’ role in running it. Shop volunteers will be based at the main trail hub shop ‘This + That’ on High Street in Leicester, and will be responsible for keeping Stomp Round Leicester merchandise stocked up and encouraging sales, along with engaging with the public about the trail and LOROS.
The Tusk Force will be needed throughout the ten weeks of the trail, from July to September, so you can volunteer for an occasional or irregular time slot, or commit to a regular weekly time slot.
What you will be doing
· Helping to keep the area dedicated to Stomp merchandise well stocked, reporting low stock to the merchandise team
· Encouraging the public to purchase maps and other trail related items
· Encouraging the public to take photos of the Mini Stompers that will be situated in the shop and share them on social media
· Talking to the public and raising awareness about LOROS, as well as our other events and how people can get involved
· Have an awareness of the ‘In Memory’ large Elephant sculpture that will be situated in the shop and direct people where to sign up to having a loved one’s name painted on it
· Work alongside existing shop volunteers to support day to day stock up keep if needed
A Community event like this is an opportunity to create new friendships. Gain new experiences and share experiences with people from different backgrounds. It will help with your confidence and create lasting memories as you give back to the cause.
