A Blog by Barbora Marsalkova<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteering has always been a powerful way to support causes that truly make a difference. War Child, an incredible charity dedicated to helping children affected by conflict, is no exception. As an organisation that will soon be using our volunteer management software, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to experience their work firsthand by volunteering for War Child at one of their events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Volunteer for War Child?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

War Child has an amazing presence in the UK\u2019s music scene, organising events that raise funds to support children in need. Their work extends beyond just fundraising. It’s about bringing people together through music to make a real impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a music lover and enjoy being part of live events, volunteering for War Child is an incredible way to combine your passion with a great cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My First Time Volunteering for War Child<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I learned that War Child needed volunteers for a Tom Walker concert in Glasgow, part of Brits Week, I jumped at the opportunity. Having spoken to their team before, I already knew how passionate and genuine they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the event, I was in regular contact with Georgie and the UK fundraising team, who ensured everything was well organised. On the day of the concert, I arrived at the venue and was greeted by two volunteer managers, Rich and Jim. They made sure all the volunteers felt welcome and prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Did We Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main role of volunteers at the event was to sell merchandise and encourage donations. Before the concert started, we received training on how to use card readers and handle different customer situations. It was great to see how smoothly everything was run and how much thought had gone into making sure volunteers felt supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best parts of the night was working alongside other volunteers, including Gaelle, who also shared her thoughts on the experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was my first time volunteering at a music event, and I loved how engaging it was. Everyone was in great spirits, and knowing we were helping War Child\u2019s cause made it even more rewarding.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"\/<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Why This Experience Stood Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This was not just my first time volunteering for War Child. It was my first time volunteering in the UK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who works in the volunteer management sector, I was eager to see how volunteering works in practice at a large-scale fundraising event. War Child\u2019s approach was efficient, well-organised, and welcoming, setting a great example for other charities looking to engage volunteers effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Volunteering at the Tom Walker concert was an unforgettable experience. It combined my love for music with a meaningful cause. It also gave me a deeper appreciation for the work that goes into organising charity events. If you\u2019re a music fan looking for a way to give back, I highly recommend volunteering for War Child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who knows – you might just find yourself at the next big concert, making a difference one donation at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
