volunteering

Sport in this country relies on the dedication of hundreds of volunteers, from the club coach to the half-time orange-slicer.

 

There are a huge variety of opportunities for volunteering in a whole range of roles whatever your sports interests or abilities.

As well as helping sport governing bodies to develop volunteering strategies and funding volunteer managers at national level, Sport England supports the role of volunteering through “runningsports”.


From quick online tips and tools to fun and informative workshops, runningsports helps volunteers get more for themselves, their clubs and their members.

If you’re a volunteer, log on to find out what runningsports can offer you.
