With Over The Wall Camp’s new headquarters set to open in Derby later this year, a range of new fundraising events are already planned for the months ahead.
Make a Difference in Your Community and Volunteer with Over The Wall
We’re always looking for amazing volunteers to help us spread the magic of Over the Wall. From supporting bucket collections at supermarkets, train stations, or Derby County Football Club, to running information stalls or hosting a tombola at local community events there are plenty of fun and meaningful ways to get involved.
Volunteer at Camp! (July – October)
Experience the full mischief and magic of camp by volunteering with us this summer. We welcome people with all kinds of personalities and skills, no previous experience working with children is required. We’ll provide all the training and support you need to help transform lives.
You can choose to volunteer for a full week or join us for one of our weekend camps. To learn more and apply, visit our website: https://www.otw.org.uk/residential-camp-volunteers/
Challenge Events
Over the Wall have spaces available at a range of exciting events and you don’t have to be a runner to join in! Many events also need enthusiastic volunteers to marshal, motivate participants, and bring the event atmosphere to life. Volunteering usually takes no more than half a day, typically from early or mid‑morning to lunchtime or early afternoon.
