To organise an event, you’ll need a committee of at least 2-5 people, plus 5-20 volunteers on the day. Your committee could include the following, but it’s always good to have extra people to help out and take on some of the work:

• A project lead to take charge of the whole event. This might be a family member or friend of the person the event is being held in honour of.
• A venue officer in charge of finding a venue and completing all the necessary paperwork.
• A press officer, responsible for contacting and working with the local press to publicise the event.
• An internet and social media officer in charge of advertising the event on Facebook and Twitter.
• A volunteer officer, responsible for finding people to help at the event and training them up.
• A promotion and publicity officer, in charge of ordering promotional materials and identifying local events and venues to promote the drive.
• A fundraising officer, responsible for organising raising money at the event (if you plan to do this).
