Richmond recruits Olympics VIPs

Opportunities to volunteer

Last updated: Friday 4th May 2012

Residents in Richmond upon Thames are being encouraged to get involved in the Borough’s Olympic events by becoming a Richmond VIP – Volunteer in Partnership.

Working in conjunction with Visit Richmond, the Rotary Clubs and the local Police, the Council is seeking 1000 volunteers to help provide information and assistance to visitors during the six Olympic events which will take place between the 24 July and the 1 August.

Cllr Pamela Fleming, Strategic Cabinet Member for Community, Business and Culture said:

“Richmond upon Thames has a great reputation for volunteering and we’re looking for community members to come forward and use their local knowledge. This role will suit people who live locally and don’t have too far to travel but it is also a great opportunity for residents to use their language skills. We expect to be welcoming tourists from around the world to show off all that Richmond has to offer.”

For more information see the Council’s press release.
