Event planning and co-ordination volunteers needed

About the Role

We’re looking for a friendly, organised volunteer to help bring people together through welcoming, community events held at, or for, St Lawrence. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys planning, coordinating, and helping create positive experiences for others. If you have a love of history, architecture or art, this is a bonus.

You’ll work with a small, supportive team to shape events that are inclusive, relaxed, and enjoyable for the local community.

What You’ll Do

• Help plan and organise community events
• Attend planning meetings (both in-person and online as required)
• Help with communications and marketing for our events
• Contribute to the development of planning tools
• Coordinate event logistics such as timings, setup, close down and resources
• Liaise with volunteers, speakers, or activity leaders as needed
• Support event delivery on the day (welcome attendees, help things run smoothly)
• Share ideas to help events grow and improve over time

What We’re Looking For

• An interest in bringing people together and building community
• Good organisational and communication skills
• A reliable, friendly, and collaborative approach
• Previous event planning experience is welcome but not essential
• Willingness to volunteer time flexibly around events

What You’ll Gain

• Hands‑on experience in event planning and coordination
• The chance to be creative and make a visible local impact
• Opportunities to meet new people and develop useful skills
• A supportive and welcoming environment
