Thinking about sport or physical activity volunteering?

Anyone can be a volunteer and whether you commit to giving up a few hours of your time to a one-off commitment, or choose to volunteer regularly there are loads of benefits to be had:

improved confidence & self esteem
making a positive difference to lives and communities
meeting new people
being part of the community
improved employment prospects
learning new skills
taking on a challenge
spending quality time away from work or a busy lifestyle
boosting your CV
working with a team
and most importantly…HAVING FUN!

‘No one can do everything but everyone can do something’*

Considering becoming a coach, leader, instructor or activator or looking to take one of those roles further?

Coaches, leaders, instructors and activators are fundamental to the development of sport and physical activity at every level. Those who choose to coach don’t just give to the sector though, they also have the chance to get lots back in return too:

an increased sense of purpose and opportunity for personal fulfilment
improved communication skills and the opportunity to enhance personal effectiveness
opportunities to build confidence and increase self-esteem
discovering a work-life balance that is even more satisfying and fulfilling
learning ways to handle challenging issues: gaining experiences, skills and knowledge which can be used in all aspects of life
building strong and lasting relationships
sharing the experiences, successes and emotional highs and lows with the athletes through all stages of their sporting journey

To support coaches, leaders, instructors and activators we offer access to career development tools, networking opportunities, courses and advice.

You can explore the links at the top of this page and also choose to become a member of our Volunteering and Coaching Bureau, to get even more help and support.
