Volunteers needed for South Bank HIV/AIDS charity walk

Crusaid urgently needs volunteers to help with the huge task of putting together the Walk for Life to ensure the event goes without a hitch. The more people help out, the more money can be raised to help people living with HIV and AIDS – both in this country and overseas.

Nigel Seymour, Sponsored Events Manager at Crusaid, said: "Walk for Life is the biggest annual fundraiser for HIV and AIDS – and putting it together is a massive job. With your help, we can make this year's Walk better than ever. Whether you have just one spare hour or loads of free time on your hands between now and June 22nd, we can find a way that you can help fight HIV and AIDS.

"We're determined to make a real difference to the lives of people affected by HIV and AIDS – the help we get from volunteers on the day is absolutely vital."

So, what can you do?

9-13 June

• Help with stuffing Walk for Life 2003 'goodie bags'
• Help with the creation of the thousands of walker passes

16-20 June

As hundreds of last-minute walkers register, the Walk office needs help answering the phones and sending out Walk for Life packs to supporters.

22 June – The Big Day!
