Volunteering

UK PonyCon is run by a team of volunteers who generously share their time. Please scroll down to read more about the available opportunities at UK PonyCon 2024.

All Committee members and volunteers are bound by our Volunteer Agreement, setting out what we expect from you, and what you can expect from us.

What’s the differences between being a committee member and a volunteer?

 

Committee members

Committee members organise the convention. They work over many months to plan specific parts of the convention, meet with the other committee members, communicate with external people and prepare for what happens at the convention. At the convention, you’ll lead on your area, and you may also run some events.

Being on the committee requires setting time aside most weeks in order to complete your role successfully, plus attending the convention itself.

We are not currently accepting applications for any committee roles.

Volunteers

Volunteers help us at the convention by being the friendly faces to host events, support panellists, answer attendee questions and much, much more.

Nearer to the convention, we send out a volunteer information pack with everything you need to know. We’ll also invite you to join a Discord or Zoom voice/video call where you can learn more about what to expect and get your questions answered.

Volunteering can be a very rewarding experience that requires only giving up as little as a few hours on one weekend.
