• For the Corporate Group Bookings, Sponsorship is involved, and the group must contact Kumiko (the Volunteer Coordinator) to arrange the session. This requires the group to submit a booking form and session details to be agreed.
• From January 2025 slots, if the corporate group books Individual Volunteer Booking (FREE TO BOOK & ATTEND), they can book up to 3 Individual volunteer slots per session. 4 or more slots will automatically fall to a Corporate Group Booking(with Sponroship).
