If you are able to join us as a steward for the duration of the March it would be fantastic if you can complete the form below.
What we would need you to do is as follows;
Arrive at Kings Park at 11am for the March to gather.
Before heading off, ensure that all banners are raised and ready to go at 11.30am sharp.
Assist with the formation of the March by making sure participants stay on the route and on the road.
Ensure that participants do not litter and that we leave no trace behind us.
Encourage participants to make their voices heard and make as much noise as possible throughout the March!
Have a fantastic time working with a team of volunteer stewards and be part of Stirling’s history!.
