Kiltwalk are looking for volunteers to provide event support at the Edinburgh Kiltwalk start lines at Holyrood Park, Victoria Park and Fisherrow Links as well as our first Pit Stop at Musselburgh Rugby Club. Tasks will include helping with set up, welcoming and encouraging walkers, assisting at the info tent and luggage drop off point, directing walkers and handing out snacks, water and merchandise.
Shift start times are between 7am and 8:30am and shifts last either 4 hours or 8 hours. Flexibility can be offered if unable to commit to the full duration.
Kiltwalk is Scotland’s largest mass participation walking event with over 145,000 people taking part since 2016. The kind-hearted Kiltwalk community have taken big strides for charities close to their hearts and together with The Hunter Foundation have managed to raise a staggering £42.5 million to date. All funds raised have been distributed to 3,330 Scottish Charities.
Our walkers rely on the encouragement and motivation they receive from our volunteers and many report that this is what ultimately gets them across the finish line. Be part of a feel-good event, soak up the Kiltwalk atmosphere and meet like-minded people. You will also have the opportunity to develop new skills and gain valuable experience in the events industry. It truly is a rewarding day!
Kiltwalk is a unique Scottish charity that enables thousands of walkers to fundraise for their choice of Scottish charity. Our aim is to become Scotland's best known and most loved way of raising money for charity.
