SIGN UP HERE TO BECOME AN INTERWOVEN EVENT STEWARD
"It takes a Village ....." Want to join the Village People?!
No, cowboy hats not required!! But we do believe that asking a just little bit from a lot of peops is the best way to support our communities.
Signing up to be an Event Steward is an easy way to offer up just a little bit of your time, as and when you're able. If you'd like to get out, meet wonderful people, explore parts of Exeter and East Devon that you've never seen before .... and know that you're doing good, then this is for you.
Past events have ranged from community star-gazing, to outdoor performance, lantern parades and guided country strolls but they are always joyful, community-building and celebratory. So this is a great way to do a little good in the world, get outdoors and have a some fun too.
We will publish below an ongoing calendar of community events here so that you can pick and choose, signing up for those that interest you.
Why not choose one and give it a try to see if you like the cut of our jib! ......
Get in touch below or call JoJo on 07855 935137 for joining details.
UPCOMING DATES FOR 2024 (please note the dates are firm but details may change in the planning)
Mile Lane Pod Events - Halloween events
Celebrating the historic Mile Lane in all its aspects ...
Spooky Stroll up Mile Lane on Sunday 27th October – a great chance to experience this ancient Exeter lane - with a difference!
“The stroll is from 5.30 to 6.30pm but we would appreciate assistance with putting up the decoration beforehand, from about 3pm. If stewards are happy to dress up & join in the fun, that would be great. The stretch of lane that we use is from the turning circle at Mile Lane to the gate at Pendragon Road, so we like to have stewards spaced regularly along this part, as well as at registration & handing out treats at the end.”
Halloween crafting on Monday 28th October, 2 -4.30 pm at the Beacon Centre. – a great, creative way to help this community.
“A volunteer could help with registration, teas & coffees or the crafting itself. If anyone is able to help then we would love to meet up in the week before these events to go through everything. Many thanks, Jane - the Mile Lane Pod”
Beacon Lane Shops Pod - Christmas events
Celebrating the early Sixties build of the Beacon Lane Shops with all the social history they represent ....
Helpers and stewards needed please.

NEXT STEPS
If you've tried us out and this feels like just the kind of volunteering that you’re looking for then please follow these three easy steps:-
The Steward role is one of the easiest Interwoven voluntary roles to sign up to. As they are public outdoor happenings we don’t require you to undertake DBS clearance. We do provide a full health and safety risk assessment though and the recruitment, support and training of our wonderful Stewards is part of that. We do ask for a reference from an organisation you have worked or volunteered for or your University/college and we will give you Induction and Training and a specific Steward’s Briefing at the beginning of each event. There is lots of progression potential for other volunteering roles which will mean that DBS clearance may become necessary but, the great news is that these roles often come with lots of free development opportunity too.
There is a Volunteering Agreement and Role Description so that you know exactly what the expectation is on both sides.
Once you’re in the bank of wonderful Interwoven Stewards you’ll find that you meet with like-minded folk – those who want to take some positive action in these challenging times but also to make new friends and explore and learn about the places that we all share.
We’re really excited to see you!
