Ready to volunteer?
After completing the form, your details will come to Caroline, our Volunteer Coordinator (volunteer@chiswickhousedogshow.org.uk). She allocates roles and sets up timetables during the summer, finalising them in early September. If your availability changes, let us know, as every volunteer is crucial, and for children’s roles, we maintain a waiting list.
