REQUIREMENTS
We are asking people to commit to attending the relevant Committee or sub-committee meetings. These meetings are usually 2 hours every month. These are where the decisions and actions are agreed.
On top of this, everyone on the committee has a role and actions to take forward in between meetings. These actions are where the real magic happens as they are things that bring Pride together.
Each person generally commits approximately 4-6 hours a month, with more commitment usually needed in the 3 months leading up to the actual event.
Overall, the commitment tends to be 8-10 hours per month, per committee member.
Applicants must be over 18 years of age.
BENEFITS
All the roles for Wigan Pride Committee are volunteer roles and so there isn’t any financial reward.
However, the reward of being involved in the delivery of our loud, colourful, bold and brash Wigan Pride makes it all worthwhile to us and hopefully you too.
Wigan Pride does cover any reasonable expenses that are incurred on behalf of Pride business.
