"We know your
time is precious - to us it is priceless"
OVER 1 June to 7 June 2012, is Volunteers'
Week and children's charity Action Medical Research is looking for
volunteers who can spare a few hours to support the charity's vital
work which helps sick babies and children.
Every year the charity runs a packed programme of challenge events
including bike rides, running events and overnight endurance walks.
All of these activities rely heavily on a dedicated crew of staff
and volunteers to make them a success.
Volunteer crew members are fully supported, briefed and advised on
all aspects of their duties, which could include registering teams,
marshalling or manning refreshment stops. Volunteering for Action Medical
Research was passed on to Adam Cochrane, 40, a software developer
from East Lothian by his mum when she stepped back after having
volunteered for over 20 years. Adam says:- "I was very
pleased when my mother nominated me to take her work with Action
Medical Research. Between my mother and I. we have over 35 years of
wisdom to prove that they are a great charity to get involved with,
whatever you enjoy cycling and running or lunches and garden parties
. If you thought volunteering for charities was a world of ladies
coffee mornings and lunches, you could not be further from the
truth!" So come join us at Action Medical Research if you can spare
the time, you won't regret it."
David Graham, Head of Community Fundraising, says:- "We need
people from all walks of life to help with a vast array of events
and activities throughout the UK. We want to speak to people with a
passion for admin, lovers of marketing and promotions, anyone who
was born to organise, and loves being in the great outdoors. We
promise you a most rewarding use of your spare time and tremendous
amounts of fun!"
This year Action Medical Research celebrates 60 years of vital
research. Money raised by the charity helps fund medical
research into conditions affecting babies and children. The charity
is currently supporting work around meningitis, epilepsy, cerebral
palsy, premature birth and some very rare conditions that severely
affect children.
If you can spare a few hours of your time to lend a hand then Action
Medical Research would love to hear from you. For more information
or just to have a chat about how you can help make a difference for
sick babies and children visit:-

Volunteers' Week is an annual event which celebrates the fantastic
contribution that millions of volunteers make across the UK. Over 22
million people are involved in volunteering in the UK every year.
