Festival seeks volunteers

ORGANISERS of the popular Stockton Heath Festival are looking for volunteers to join their hard working team.
In particular, they are looking for a fund raising director and a programme organiser.
The seventh annual festival will be held over the first weekend of July next year but organisers are already busy on preparatory work.
In just seven years, the event has become one of the biggest on the local calendar and there is always a need for more volunteers.
The fund raising director is regarded as one of the most challenging positions on the organising committee – because without funds there would be no festival.
He or she is responsible for engaging with existing sponsors as well as contacting new prospects as opportunities arise. The post also includes involvement in fund raising events.

The programme organisers would be expected to communicate to the designer compact, pithy descriptions of the events to be included in the programme as well as proof reading the programme and supervising its progress to the final printing stage.
