Please help and volunteer at Swanage Carnival 2022
Please help us by volunteering at Swanage Carnival, from bucket shaking to litter picking and even if you can only do one hour.
The main purposes of Swanage Carnival week are to create a fun week for people of all ages and to raise money for their chosen causes. Last year they gave away £28,800, so please attend their events, most of which are free, and give generously to help ensure they can run another Carnival next year and give away even more to their good causes. We are lucky that #Willdoes is one chosen charities they will be donating to.
Please keep reading to find out what to do and how you can help…
INFORMATION FOR CARNIVAL CHARITY BUCKET COLLECTIONS AND OTHER HELP
If you have charity t-shirts, hats, badges or similar, please wear them to make people aware of the purpose of Carnival.
Bucket Collections: General Advice
Collect your bucket and Hi Vis vest from Sandpit Field (see below for exceptions) and make sure it is recorded on the master sheet
No under 16’s allowed to collect money
Spread yourselves out in the area you have been allocated with no more than two people in a group
When collecting on the road please be aware of moving vehicles or other hazards. If you have children with you make sure you are positioned between them and the road. They should wear their own Hi Vis
Smile, but don’t shake the bucket or react to anyone you think is being mean
If someone says they have no cash, tell them to use the QR codes to be found on the bucket label and in the programme. Many of the Carnal Committee (red t-shirts) will be carrying card readers.
Don’t unseal your bucket at any time
If someone tries to grab the bucket from you, let them take it
If you spot someone collecting suspiciously e.g. with a bucket that is not labelled or sealed correctly, please notify a Carnival committee member asap
Return your bucket to location specified for day/event you are supporting
