Volunteering

Volunteering is anything you do that helps other people or the general community beyond your own family, so long as you do it because you choose to and not for financial gain.

There are many good reasons to volunteer, you may want to:

• Meet new people
• Gain new experience
• Develop or learn new skills
• Meet a new challenge
• Fill spare time
• Make a difference

We offer specific volunteering opportunities through our Sports Development team.

V, the national young volunteers service, is an independent charity dedicated to helping young people volunteer in ways that matter to them. Its mission is to make volunteering opportunities so diverse, compelling and easy to get involved with that giving up your time to help others becomes a natural lifestyle choice for 16-25 year olds in England. Their network of 107 vinvolved teams has been established to provide local advice and support for every young person in England, no matter where they live.
