A new Running opportunity has been added to Manchester VSB by Manchester Sports Development Team, starts 23 March 2014

We are looking for volunteers to help Sport Relief which has grown into one of the UK’s biggest and most successful fund-raising events, that receives incredible support from the great British public. All the money raised helps people living incredibly tough lives, both at home in the UK and across the world’s poorest countries.

Sport Relief 2014 is on its way to Spinningfields, Manchester on Sunday 23rd March and we’re looking to recruit volunteers for this exciting event.

By volunteering just a few hours of your time (9am – 2.30pm) to help steward, marshall, provide information etc, you’ll be helping to bring the entire nation together to get active, raise cash and change lives. We’re planning to make Sport Relief 2014 more successful than ever as we celebrate the UK’s biggest year of sport, so if you can spare the time, it will be truly invaluable.

If you have a few hours to spare on Sunday 23rd March 2014, then sign up today and we will be in touch.

The event has a closing date of Wednesday 12th March 2014. So be quick and sign up today.

Be part of the action and go the extra mile for Sport Relief 2014.
