# Volunteer Make a difference in Ashford: volunteer with Ashford Wide Ashford Wide is a volunteer-driven organisation and we couldn't do what we do without the support of our incredible volunteers. Whether you can spare a few hours at an event or want to get more deeply involved in shaping the future of Ashford, we'd love to hear from you. ## How You Can Help ### Event Volunteers We need volunteers to help at our events throughout the year, from marshalling and stewarding to setting up and handing out information. Together, we work to bring people together and make Ashford thrive through projects like: - [Summer Fair](/events/summer-fair/) - [Remembrance Day](/remembrance-day/) - Christmas Market - [Town flags](/town-flags) - and much more! ## Get Involved To find out more about volunteering with Ashford Wide, please [contact us](/contact) with a brief description of how you'd like to help and we'll be in touch. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for everyone involved in our activities; including volunteers, participants, and members of the public. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, and we expect all volunteers to share our commitment to protecting children, young people, and vulnerable adults from harm. All volunteers may be required to complete basic safeguarding training and, where appropriate, an enhanced DBS check before starting their role. If you have any concerns about safeguarding, please [speak to a member of our team](/contact) or contact our Designated Safeguarding Lead at safeguarding@ashfordwide.com.
