The Institute of Fundraising is inviting applications frm members and other fundraisers
to join a team of 40 volunteers to help run its 2006 National Convention in London
in July. In return for the hard work volunteers will get to attend the three-day
event at no charge.
Successful applicants for the volunteer posts will be asked 
to work on a voluntary basis for three and a half days from 9-12 July 2006 at the
Hilton London Metropole, Edgware Road.

Working with Institute staff, volunteers will be asked to help with registration,
managing workshops, assisting delegates, and a range of other tasks.

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.
