INFORMATION FOR BACKPACKERS VOLUNTEERS

BACKPACKERS 2020 is cancelled because of the Coronavirus situation, see the announcement on the home page.

Thank you for volunteering, or thinking of volunteering, at BACKPACKERS.  Whether this is your first time of volunteering or your twenty-something time there will be things you need to know and have for the current year's BACKPACKERS. This page is the starting point for that information.

You may be wondering how you can help or what a particular role entails.  Remember, as well as being on-site during the four days of BACKPACKERS, there are things that need doing before and after the actual event and there are off-site roles if you cannot get time off work during the week of BACKPACKERS.

Key dates and times can be found on this page.
