How much time will I have to commit?

Memory Walks usually take place in September each year. However, planning for these events takes a number of months. Typically volunteers in this role attend a number of meetings in the 6-8 months before the walk takes place, and help with practical activities outside these meetings. Volunteers in this role are expected to help out on the day of the Memory Walk.
