As many of you will be well aware, every December here at Trevena Cross we host a big charity fundraising Santa’s Grotto, and raise an incredible amount of money for nominated charities. We couldn’t do this without the support of volunteers from The Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard who give up their time to make sure the grotto runs smoothly and thousands of children leave with smiles on their faces.
Every year the event grows and the number of visitors rockets, which is great but also means a stretch on both the team here at Trevena Cross and the volunteers from the Rotary Club. As a result, we’re seeking the support of more volunteers this year, to ensure that we can continue to raise as much money as possible for charity and make the grotto the big success that it’s been to date.
Just to be clear – Trevena Cross is a business but doesn’t make a penny from the grotto. None of the materials or many staff hours spent creating and running the grotto are taken from the charity money. We are not trying to recruit free labour – we are trying to continue our charitable efforts as efficiently as possible. We are a relatively small team and are working to capacity, so would welcome some extra help!
Can you help?
There are a number of jobs where volunteers can make a valuable contribution to the team effort – where help would be hugely appreciated by Trevena Cross and the Rotary Club.
Incentive?
It’s great fun, and a great atmosphere!…especially if you’re nuts about Christmas!
You’ll get that warm, fuzzy feeling – helping to raise LOADS of money for worthwhile causes!
Give your CV a boost…Volunteering is highly valued by prospective employers
If you’re a big spender – (or could be a big spender!) here at Trevena Cross, a 10% discount voucher per day of volunteering (up to 50% off for 5 days!) could be yours to redeem next spring when it’s time to spend, spend, spend on the garden – what a helping hand that would be!
Unlimited hot drinks during the day of volunteering? Lunch voucher?
Help us bring some festive cheer to huge numbers of local families and of course to those who will benefit from the vital work of the nominated charities.
