Buskers & performers
Route marshals (start/finish points, along route, junctions)
Manning of activities, game as well as food & drink booths
Event site marshals
Maintain cleanliness of event area (throughout & post event)

No experience will be required. We welcome all individuals who wish to do their part to promote inclusion, raise awareness of disabilities and help more people with disabilities to integrate into the community.

For more information, please contact Ms Alice Hue at Tel: 6579 0708 or here.
