I worked at Dogs Trust Loughborough at a temporary events coordinator, below is a brief list of what my role entailed. • Set-up databases and mailing lists/contacting stallholders and volunteers as necessary.• Source and collect out raffle prizes, checking promotional stock and setting-up tombola’s and other stalls in the run up to the Fun Day.• Assist with the set-up of the event: marking out pitches, putting up gazebos, setting-up agility rings• Help with transportation and be responsible for hire vehicles • Attend the Fun Day: assist the Supporter Relations Officer to make sure everything runs smoothly on the day and everything and everyone is where it should be. Be on hand to answer queries from stall-holders, volunteers and supporters.• Assist with the aftermath of the Fun Day: help to break down the event (gazebos etc.) and transportation back to the rehoming centre• Counting money (if required).• Contacting prize winners, distributing raffle prizes and writing thank you letters. 10%• Any other reasonable duties as required by the Supporter Relations Officer. I really loved the events role and it gave a real spark from then on I knew it’s what I wanted to do.
