The Royal Marines Charity need volunteers! For the Commando Challenge in October. This is the first time they have opened it up to the local communities so it’s a great way for either local companies or groups of friends and families to volunteer at a fun event.
They provide t-shirts for everyone volunteering along with refreshments and lunch.
