Grass roots organisations

You are from a local sport organisation looking at a page about sport volunteering - you must be interested in improving things for your sport volunteers, and...

• Your organisation probably relies on volunteers to keep going.
• You probably say thank you to them once a year at the end of your season.
• You probably think about planning for your organisation: how to win the league; how to get more players; how to get more money.
• You probably don't plan for your volunteers.

Why should you, they've always been there, always will. You'll always get new parents in with the new kids won't you?

This is probably the furthest your organisation has gone in thinking about your needs for that vital resource: volunteers.

What else could you do to plan for volunteers?

And importantantly, what else could you do in the time you have?

First of all, find out about the impact your volunteering is having - visit our impact of sport volunteering page and use the tools.

This page will have further information added, so come back again to find out what else you can do.
