Events Volunteer (Volunteer at the Slieve Donard Trek – Be Part of Something Special!)

About the Event 

The Slieve Donard Trek is a fully guided 11km hike, climbing 840 metres over 5–8 hours. Participants will challenge themselves on forest trails and steep ground to reach the summit — and we’ll be there to cheer them on every step of the way.

• Welcome participants as they arrive
•  Help with check-in and registration
•  Cheer them off as they begin their trek 

After the Trek (13:00–18:00):

• Help set up the post-trek reception
•  Welcome participants back and congratulate them
•  Hand out medals and thank them for supporting Mencap
•  Create a fun and celebratory atmosphere with clappers, whistles and big smiles
