Oxjam Reading Takeover Festival need volunteers to help with Stewarding on the day of our Takeover Festival on Saturday 15th October.
Duties will include giving out information, getting people through the door, being on hand to help out and keeping an eye on things to make sure the event runs smoothly. You may have some duties selling tickets or working on the central wristband exchange.
We offer a fun environment, meeting great people during a fulfilling volunteering experience. And at the same time volunteers can enjoy some incredible music from hip-hop and soul to punk, reggae, folk, blues and rock in the best venues across Reading!
Volunteers will need to be over 18 and will need to bring photo-id with them on the day.
