Feast only works because of people like YOU – residents and Feast goers who love West Norwood. This Saturday afternoon in Knowles (new pub on Norwood Road, you can’t miss it, it’s the only new pub on Norwood Road) some of our volunteers will be there waiting to talk to YOU about how you can help Feast continue to be the wonderful neighbourly event it is…

Volunteering – what’s involved

Basically, it’s as little or as much as you can do. We need help on Feast days to keep it all running smoothly and during the month behind the scenes, with things like the website, sponsorship, marketing and outreach. In return you get to work with a lovely team of local people as well as getting valuable experience for your CV!

If you want specifics, this is just some of what we need:

• Assistant hub leaders to help with the admin, the booking of the stalls and set up on the day.
• Volunteers for the Tea & Talk Table at Artisans on Chatsworth Way (where older people in the West Norwood community come each Feast for a free cuppa and slice of cake, and a chat to a lovely Feast volunteer) – is this something you would enjoy?
• Sponsorship & Funding – if you are good at getting money out of people, we need you!
• Marketing, Press & Publicity – we have a hardworking Feast team and they always need a hand.
• Merchandise – selling tea towels and bags etc helps us raise valuable funds, we need someone to oversee the whole process
• Entertainments – coordinating performers on the day and helping out with children’s activities.
• Website – we need someone who is WordPress savvy who can help us with the technicals.
• Outreach – if you have connections to communities or businesses in West Norwood who Feast could reach, help us!

Feast starts again Sunday 3 April!
