Can you help V2 Radio?

V2 Radio station based in Chichester, is looking for a volunteer team of young, enthusiastic, and friendly volunteers to represent V2 Radio at the events it covers throughout the year. This would involve handing out V2 Radio merchandise and bringing a positive energy.

These are unpaid, voluntary roles, providing young people with experience (great for those particularly looking to break into the radio/media industry). The pool of volunteers will be contacted with a list of events coming up to reply with those that they are available for. V2 Radio covers Hampshire and Sussex, so events are across these regions. Please note, travel will need to be arranged by the volunteer.

The volunteers must be aged 16 years and over.

Next event:
Date: Saturday 20th June
Event: Music at Murrels Field
Location: Murrells Field, Barnham.
Required hours: 5pm-8pm. Volunteers are welcome to stay past this time to enjoy the event.

Please reach out to Emilia Barnden via email at [email protected] if you have a young person suitable to volunteer and please share this email with anyone who may be interested.

Thank you!
