Trisha has agreed to stand with
a collection tin at a local event to
raise money for Parkinson’s UK.
What practical things will she need
to think about to make sure she is
prepared for this task?
Make a note of your ideas,
then move on to the next slide
to read ours.
Your task
Trisha could consider the following to prepare for her collection tin day:
 Is she available on the day of the event?
 How much time (and energy) can she give?
 How will she get there?
 Can she get to the event on time?
 What will she need to wear and take with her? For example,
an umbrella, coat or sunscreen.
 When and where will she meet the collection tin co-ordinator?
 What does she need to do with the tin at the end of the day?
Now you’ve thought about what needs to be
on Trisha’s list, consider what would be on
your own list if you were volunteering at
the event.
Not sure? You could always talk to the
collection tin co-ordinator or share the task
with other volunteers.
Nav volunteered to take leaflets
about living with Parkinson’s to
local GP surgeries to raise
awareness of the condition and
Parkinson’s UK. Steve, his staff
contact, asks Nav if he could visit
three surgeries by next Friday as
they hardly have any left. Jan, from
his local branch is also helping.
On the next slide is a blank page
from Nav’s diary. Make a note of
things he will need to put in his
diary to plan for the leaflet drop
next Friday.

• How will I get to the surgeries?
• Will I need to display the leaflets or can I give
them to the receptionists?
• Will they be light or bulky?
• How long will it take to visit the three surgeries?
Did you think of any ideas that Nav didn’t
include? Remember that practical
considerations vary from person to
person and you can talk to your staff
contact if you’re worried or not sure
about any aspect of your volunteering.
