Sports Volunteering in Kent

KCC Sports, Leisure and Olympics is focusing on the issues and priorities of Sports Volunteering within related projects and programmes in both the school and community settings. Developing the structure and provision for sports clubs and individuals in Kent to enable them to raise, identify and find solutions to issues they have concerning volunteering at all levels.

• The pages in this section detail why you should become a volunteer, what role you can play and how to get involved.
• If you represent a sports club or organisation you can find support and guidance on how to recruit volunteers.

The KCC Sports, Leisure and Olympics volunteer programme is linking with the volunteer centre network to coordinated volunteering within sports clubs. The project currently has two main focuses:

• Breaking down the myth that you have to be sporty to volunteer in a sports club
• Providing sports clubs with information and support to manage the cycle of volunteers

Working in partnership with the volunteer centre network the ‘ Kent eVent Team' has been established to help provide and recruit a workforce of volunteers for events and one-off sport, leisure and cultural activities across the county, for more detail look on the Kent eVent Team page.

Although we cannot guarantee to fill all the volunteer roles your club may have using this process will raise the profile of your organisation within the 19 Volunteer Centres working with anyone actively seeking volunteer opportunities in Kent.
