Volunteers play a pivotal role in
all the work we do. Without the hard-work and dedication of
volunteers, our programmes and local sports clubs would not run. It
is estimated that the contribution made by volunteers to sport each
year is worth around £1.5 billion!
Most sports volunteers rarely use
the term 'volunteer' to describe their activities, they see
themselves as coaches, umpires, referees, team managers, club
personnel or event organisers. Behind the scenes there are
treasurers, committee members, planners,researchers, IT website
managers, journalists and photographers. In short, there is a vast
array of roles supporting and surrounding sport without which sport
would not be able to function.
