Call for volunteers to help at Paisley Hallowe'en Festival 2024

One of the biggest events in the Renfrewshire calendar will soon be making its return and a call has been issued for volunteers to help out.

The Paisley Hallowe’en festival is set to run over two days on Friday, October 25 and October 26.

Engage Renfrewshire is looking for enthusiastic individuals to take on a range of roles during this time.

The roles available include parade buddy, welcome hosts for the seated area, event access assistant, accessibility assistant and radio room assistant.

Parade buddies will be in charge of the parade line-up; registration of local community groups, artists, and performers; and helping with parade participant welfare.

Those interested, however, should be aware that this role may involve a significant amount of walking.

Welcome hosts, meanwhile, will be tasked with providing a friendly welcome to all grandstand seating ticket holders, helping guests find their seats, assisting with event inquiries and supporting with the distribution of items to guests.

Event access assistants will assist visitors with accessible parking requirements, help with event inquiries and help with access to the accessible viewing platform.

Accessibility attendants will help event visitors with event site accessibility information, and oversee and manage accessible viewing platforms.

Radio room assistants will assist event crew, volunteers, and event contractors with radio sign-in/out protocol and making sure everyone has been assigned a radio, an earpiece, and event accreditation.

Their other responsibility will be to look after the radio charging station by charging up radios, and maintaining the radio room equipment throughout the festival.

Those interested should register via Engage or get in touch via events@renfrewshire.gov.uk.
