We are looking for volunteers who are enthusiastic, well organised, and who enjoy meeting new people, to help staff the event. We need event stewards, and people willing to help support exhibitors, assist our celeb chefs, staff the box office for our special events programme, and help with festival promotion. If you have relevant experience, that's a bonus, but it's not necessary. The festival promises to be a blast. At the Old Fruitmarket there'll be a magical marketplace full to the brim with gorgeous organic and wild harvested goodies. Next door, at the Ramshorn Theatre, there'll be organic fashion and textiles, health and beauty, ethical homeware, and an organic café run by The 78. The packed programme of cookery demos, talks, debate, and tutored tastings will feature Gardeners’ World presenter and celebrated chef Sarah Raven; and Kaye Adams of Loose Women fame. Our Kidszone will feature a farm frieze art competition, food themed face painting, and a fabulous smoothie bike. If you'd like to get involved, please email your name and contact details to ssienche@soilassociation.org, or call 0131 666 2474 and ask for Sandrine. The Soil Association is the UK's leading campaigning and certification organisation for organic food and farming. We also promote planet-friendly food and farming and campaign for safer, healthier produce and production methods. http://charity-volunteers.vivastreet.co.uk/charity-volunteers+glasgow-g13/chest-heart---stroke-scotland-volunteering-opportunities/8755577 http://charity-volunteers.vivastreet.co.uk/charity-volunteers+glasgow-g13/chest-heart---stroke-scotland-volunteering-opportunities/8755577 Can you help to make a difference in your local community?
