‘On the day’ Events Ambassador (London Marathon 2026)

Each year, thousands of people take part in events across the UK to raise funds for Barnardo’s. As an event ambassador, you will provide on the day support at an event near you. This could include greeting and talking to participants, taking donations, and providing support to the Barnardo’s fundraising team. Your help will ensure our supporters feel engaged and valued and have a great experience. You can lend a hand in an ad hoc way to fit with your time commitments, or on a more regular basis. Events are usually around 4-6 hours in duration.

This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to our work, gain hands-on event experience and be part of a supportive team. If you are enthusiastic, a great communicator and want to change the lives of children and young people, apply now.

Join team Barnardo's at the 2026 London Marathon! The London Marathon is an annual 26.2 mile (42.2km) run through the streets of London, passing some of its greatest icons. We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to cheer on our amazing runners at cheer stations along the marathon route, and help us give them a heroes welcome at our post-race party.

Your energy and encouragement will make all the difference to our runners as they take on this iconic challenge to raise funds for Barnardo's.

However you choose to lend a hand, your support will help to make this a day to remember! Join us and be a part of this iconic event.

This is a voluntary (unpaid) role.
