Thank you so much for volunteering at a POA event – without you it wouldn’t be possible! Here are some top tips to prepare you for the day:
Before the day
- If you’re now unable to volunteer, please ask your year group to find a replacement.
- Please don’t cancel at the last minute (unless it’s an emergency of course!) as it places stress on other volunteers/can lead to disappointment if stalls are cancelled.
- Download iZettle app to take card/phone payments. For those on paying stalls, you’ll receive an automated email to create an account. It’s super easy!
On the day
- Arrive 15 mins before your start time to familiarise yourself with your stall (and prevent the previous volunteer from worrying they have no one to pass onto!)
- Games will have (simple!) instructions.
- People can pay cash or card/phone via iZettle. Please keep your stall’s cash float safe (with the lid on when not in use).
- The POA Team are easy to spot – look out for purple t-shirts like this! We’re friendly and knowledgable (but may be slightly frazzled!)

And here’s some other info…
- Water stations: at cafe
- Toilets: Adults use Disabled toilet, children use Y6 toilets. No others should be used.
- Two bin stations. Children from the Eco-Committee will be litter picking too!
- First Aiders: Steph Warner, Hannah Clarke and Vicky Pateman. They’ll be wearing a POA t-shirt.
And finally…
Please be flexible. Your help may be needed elsewhere than originally planned, so please support your fellow volunteers.
