About volunteering at Major Events in London
Every year, London welcomes some of the world's biggest sporting, music, arts and cultural events, and Team London’s Major Events Volunteers are integral to their success.
Our Major Events Volunteers Programme supports a range of large-scale events and celebrations across the capital by providing volunteers who share their knowledge, pride, and enthusiasm on behalf of the Mayor of London.
Team London Major Events Volunteers are friendly faces that the public from across London and the world meet on the ground, ensuring events are successful and enhancing London’s reputation as a great city to visit.
Our volunteers take on various roles at different events, but often focus on interactions with the public. For example, helping fans find where they need to go, supporting artists performing on the main stage, and drumming up a festival spirit.
In recent years, our volunteers have supported UEFA EURO 2020, UEFA Women’s EURO 2022, FIA Formula E, Major League Baseball, and the King’s Coronation. Our volunteers also play a key role in delivering the Mayor of London’s celebrations, including New Year’s Eve, Black on the Square, St Patrick's Day, and Eid in the Square, to name just a few.
Each year hundreds of volunteers take part in this programme, supporting the delivery of events, learning new skills, gaining unique experiences, and making friends along the way.
