In return volunteers benefit from free entry to all three days of Convention as well as meals, and accommodation where necessary. They also get to attend selected sessions on a range of fundraising topics. Since the Convention is the largest event for fundraisers in Europe, with 2,000 delegates attending over the three days, volunteers will also gain useful experience in team working and event management.
The Institute points out that volunteers are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from the venue.
The deadline for applications is 31 March 2006.
