Throughout Stomp Round Leicester, there will be several different events to accompany our herd of magnificent Elephant sculptures that will be stampeding into the city this summer as part of a spectacular public art trail raising vital funds for LOROS Hospice.As a volunteer, you become an essential part of the event. Not only does your contribution help the event run smoothly, by giving us your time, we can concentrate on raising money to ensure the best possible care for our patients.
The Tusk Force will be an integral part of the art trail and the public face of LOROS throughout Stomp Round Leicester. You will be vital in helping the public understand what the art project is and LOROS’ role in running it. Volunteers will walk a section of the trail, checking in on the condition of the Elephant sculptures, engaging with the public about the trail and LOROS, and directing trail goers to the hub shop and online ways to support.
The Tusk Force will be out and about throughout the ten weeks of the trail, from July to September, Thursday to Sunday every week. Volunteer roles will be available for an occasional or irregular time slot, or you can commit to a regular weekly time slot for the duration of the trail.
