NSPCC calls for local volunteers to help out at this year’s HACK

The NSPCC is calling for local people to play their part in helping to end child cruelty by volunteering at the NSPCC’s Mournes ‘HACK’ (Hike Against Cruelty to Kids) on 15 September.



The Mournes HACK is a circular hike covering distances of approximately 14 and 20 miles, which takes a lot of planning, organising and requires many people on the day to help support walkers.



Volunteers play a key part in the organising and running of the event and keeping all walkers safe during the day. The types of things you could get involved in are:



Join your local HACK committee and help in the pre-planning and organisation
Registering entrants on the morning of the walk prior to their starting
Manning a check point – registering walkers progress and safety or handing out drinks and refreshments
Marshalling along the route
Assisting with the BBQ at the end of the walk
Helping set up the HACK site the day before
Collecting and delivering equipment and supplies for the event
Registering entrants on completion of the hike and handing out certificates and t-shirts
Help by donating relevant goods for the day (van hire, drinks, BBQ food etc)


Karen Walker, NSPCC community fundraising manager, said: “We would really like to hear from anyone who would like to help out. Volunteering is a fantastic way to support the NSPCC, and it’s fun! You can get a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment from knowing you’re helping out at an event that will be raising valuable funds for vulnerable children and young people who desperately need our support.”



To find out more about volunteering at this event, please contact the NSPCC fundraising office on 028 9035 1135 or by emailing us.
