Volunteering

There are nearly six million sports volunteers in England today. This accounts for around 26% of total adult volunteering and equates to over one billion hours contributed to sport each year!

From coaching to minibus driving, catering, website design and general marketing support, volunteers have a vital role to play in all areas of today’s sports clubs.
