The Cambridge Pumpkin Festival is returning for 2017, from the 20th-28th October. The success of the festival is a result of the help of volunteers and there should be lots of fun events to help with. We will need volunteers to help spread the message of the need to reduce food waste, help with cookery workshops and kids’ activities, give out taster food, and photograph/film the festival, and would be hugely grateful to anyone willing to help out.
Here is a list of the volunteering opportunities coming up. We ask that the minimum amount of time donated for events is two hours on a one-off basis, but we would love it if you could do more than that and be able to help at more than one event.
