The great thing about volunteering in sport is that it can be win/win! Clubs and other organisations benefit from the support they recieve, so they in turn can offer more opportunities to more people. The individuals who volunteer benefit in many ways too:
- Gain experience in a sports environment
- Develop new skills and attributes
- Be part of a club or community sports organisation
- Enhance you employability
There are many ways to find out about local volunteering opportunities:
