Right now they are looking for Volunteers to help with the upcoming ‘Are You Listening? Festival’ on May the 6th, 2023.
They will need outgoing, sociable volunteers to cover the doors at all their venues, to check and sell wristbands, help the festival-goers on the day and encourage donations to Reading Mencap.
