CALM have been selected for the third year running as the BMW PGA Championship charity partner. The event takes place at the prestigious Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey from 17 - 22 September 2024.
Volunteer at the PGA Golf Tour
Join us this September and volunteer for the chance to enjoy some incredible golf whilst supporting our life-saving work.
CALM have two fundraising activations in the event village which will be open at all times: The Mega Putt and The Chipping Challenge. They are simple fun golf games where people will be asked donate to CALM in order to take part.
This is where you come in! Both activations will be fully run by our wonderful CALM volunteers, with CALM staff support. It's a really fun event to be part of - a chance to get outside, talk to lots of people about what we do and watch some golf!
We're looking for volunteers to help us at one half day shift, either in the morning or afternoon.
