About the Opportunity
From 25-27 March 2026, Anthropy will take over the entire Eden Project for its national gathering bringing together 2,000 people from across the UK for over 200 sessions, all focused on shaping a more united, positive future for the United Kingdom.
Volunteers play a vital role in making Anthropy possible. By getting involved, you’ll be right at the heart of a major national event, supporting speakers, guests, and sessions while gaining valuable experience in event delivery and public engagement.
Volunteers receive £20 daily in expenses for each attended day (including the training day), to go towards incurred expenses like travel, petrol, food etc.
What You’ll Be Doing
As an Anthropy volunteer, you may support the event in a variety of roles, including:
-
Room Management: Managing room capacities and checking guests into sessions
-
Wayfinding: Using signage and the Anthropy app to guide speakers and attendees to sessions
-
Guest Support: Answering questions about the event, session timings, catering, and using the Anthropy app
You’ll be fully briefed and supported, with a training day on 24 March strongly recommended for anyone new to volunteering.

By taking part, you’ll:
-
