Sports Development Volunteering

You’ll love this volunteering because it combines hands-on delivery with real insight into how sports development organisations operate. You won’t just be observing—you’ll actively support the delivery of school sport and physical activity, help run events, and work directly with children and young people in schools. Alongside delivery, you’ll gain valuable experience supporting our website and social media platforms. You’ll help create content, share success stories, promote events, and showcase the impact of our work—developing practical digital and communication skills that are highly valued by employers. The volunteering offers variety, with no two days the same. You’ll spend time in schools, at events, and working behind the scenes with partners and professionals, building confidence, leadership, and organisational skills. You’ll be supported and mentored throughout, with opportunities to take on responsibility and shape your experience. Most importantly, you’ll see the impact of your work first-hand—helping young people enjoy being active, build confidence, and develop positive habits for life. By the end of the placement, you’ll have meaningful experience, professional references, and a strong foundation for a career in sport, education, or community development.
