Volunteering

LIVING SPORT recognise the importance of the roles which volunteers play within sport and we can offer information and advice to anyone interested in getting involved, no matter how much time you have to spare.

Who can volunteer in sport?

Over 6 million people give one billion hours to sport through volunteering every year. From teenagers to parents, graduates to retired people, anyone can get involved in supporting their local sports club - you don't even need knowledge of sport. Many non-sports roles are available. For example, creating websites, writing match reports, managing and generating funds, catering and more.

If you're a young volunteer aged between 16 and 24, then sign up to the Leadership Academy and get rewards for the time you donate.
