In the penultimate post in our series marking the contribution made by volunteers to Narcolepsy UK, Trustee Henry Nicholls describes the contribution made by volunteer advocates.

Volunteers’ Week is a chance to say thank you for the fantastic contribution millions of volunteers make across the UK. It takes place 1-7 June every year and is an opportunity to celebrate volunteering in all its diversity.

In the second of our series of posts marking the contribution made by volunteers to Narcolepsy UK, our Operations Manager Nicola Rule Allen pays tribute to our volunteer benefits advisers:

2019 Virgin Money London Marathon

As we have had some interest from potential runners in next year’s London Marathon, we thought we would explain the position of the charity when it comes to obtaining places.

There are three different bond schemes operated by London Marathon Events Ltd. These are:

The Golden Bond Scheme

A Virgin Money London Marathon Golden Bond gives the charity that holds it five guaranteed places in the event each year. This scheme has been fully subscribed for many years and the waiting list is closed for the foreseeable future.

Narcolepsy UK has always relied on volunteers to raise funds to help support the charity. As the charity grows, we require volunteers to participate in fundraising roles to help us generate much-needed income to keep the charity running.
