What's involved?

After completing the online training and receiving your very own events kit, events organisers will attend local events, fairs and fetes to distribute materials which engage and inspire members of the public.

As an events organiser, you’ll be supporting us by:

Creating visually appealing stalls or stands
Promoting the work of the Marine Conservation Society through our printed materials
Handing out branded merchandise and information leaflets.
