Are you keen to support the Oxfam TRAILWALKER cause, but 100km seems a bit much?
Set your sights on the most rewarding role on the trail – become a Trailwalker Volunteer!
Oxfam TRAILWALKER is no mean feat; with over 1100 volunteer shifts filled across the weekend in 2010, it is the volunteers that truly make the event the success it is.
In 2011 we’re aiming to improve on the success of previous years as we launch into the planning stages for our ninth annual event.
Despite record shift numbers and over 800 volunteers in 2010, we still need more! Volunteers provide vital safety roles for our walkers as well as taking care of the trail logistics, parking, managing Checkpoints and being a constant source of support to our participants
An overwhelming community, corporate and allied health response to our request for volunteers enables us to deliver exceptional service levels to participants. No matter what your skill set or interests, we have a role for you!
