Snowdrop Walk Volunteer

Save to Favorites

The Snowdrop Walk is a special day for families to remember someone important to them who has died by planting a snowdrop in memory. The aim of the day is to provide a family-friendly day for bereaved families while also raising funds for Child Bereavement UK.

There are several volunteering roles including: stewarding; selling snowdrops; selling and preparing refreshments; and running stalls in West Wycombe Village Hall.
