Volunteer: Crèche Team

The Creche is an essential space at the Convention, providing a warm and welcoming, safe space for parents and children alike. Providing this area for the children to sleep and play, allows parents and carers to watch and listen to the live stream, or even have a much-needed conversation with the creche team and other parents.

As a Creche Team member, your role is to bring warmth and care to parents and their children when they visit the creche space, offering a cup of tea or a listening ear. Please be aware that this is not a drop-off zone; parents/carers will stay with their children (age 0 – 3 years).
