Testimonial from the director of a County Sports Partnership:

"Volunteering has been an integral part of all sport throughout England. Now with the challenge before sport to increase participation, there is a need to ensure that those volunteering and working in sport are ready to continue to provide a quality experience within the sporting landscape. Northamptonshire Sport understands that pressure on existing volunteers within sport now requires new and innovative approaches to broaden the range and number of volunteers within sport. The current project with Northamptonshire Sport working with existing Volunteers Centres is such an example of innovation in this key area. The project allows for a greater tie in to the strong volunteering sector and will help to provide a greater range of experiences for those who wish to volunteer as well as strengthening the skills of volunteers within sport. Northamptonshire Sport is committed to ensure that the current Workforce Strategy for the county will meet the needs of those working and volunteering in sport. This project supports the very aims of the Workforce Strategy and put the focus on skilling the very heart of sport... the volunteers".
