OOR Wullie fanatics in the Highlands are being sought to help this summer’s Big Bucket Trail in Inverness.
Volunteer roles are available in Inverness and the surrounding area to assist The Archie Foundation in raising money and helping ensure Scotland’s first nationwide trail is a smash hit.
The charity is looking for a number of friendly retail assistants to help out in the official merchandise shop which will be open for the duration of the trail in the city's Eastgate Shopping Centre.
There are a few other roles also available.
Each volunteer will be kitted out in an Archie T-shirt and given an ID badge. Volunteers will be able to claim back reasonable travel expenses.
Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail will see statues on the streets of Inverness and four other Scottish cities from June 17 for 11 weeks.
Volunteers will be key to helping the trail raise as much money a possible for sick children in hospital. The opportunities will also allow those helping out the chance to meet new friends and develop new skills and experiences.
Archie Highland fundraiser Dawn Cowie said: “We are looking for a number of people who are keen to help make the difference in Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail and in turn raise as much money for sick children in the Highlands as possible.
“Volunteering in the bucket trail is a great way to meet lots of new people while gaining new skills and experience. It is also a great way to challenge yourself.
“The trail will keep us all on our toes, but it will be incredibly fun and rewarding for all involved.
“Please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’d love to hear from you and tell you how you can help.”
Anyone interested in applying should email hello@archie.org for more information.
