Calling all volunteers
Thursday 12 January 2012
Whether you are already involved in the club as a volunteer or would like to get involved, there is a place for you.
Perhaps you would like to be involved behind the scenes at the Olympic Games; there will be opportunities right here in Cardiff.
To learn more either get in touch with us at the Cardiff International Sports Stadium or go to a special Volunteer Sports Bureau that has been set up by Cardiff County Council.
Cardiff was chosen as European City of Sport for 2009 and will be European Capital for Sport in 2014 — with this growing reputation as a city for sport, it's important to remember that coaches and volunteers play a vital role in supporting sport in Cardiff.
Clubs, events, and activities across the city would not be able to happen without the invaluable contribution made by volunteers and coaches. As a result, Sport Cardiff operates Coaching and Volunteer Accreditation schemes to ensure the highest standard of sport is delivered to the people of Cardiff — the Sport Cardiff VSB is the exciting new way we will manage these schemes and keep you informed of all the latest opportunities!
The Sport Cardiff Volunteer Sports Bureau (VSB) is an online tool that enables volunteers to register and access a variety of volunteer opportunities at the click of a button. The VSB also provides an opportunity for 'providers' of volunteer opportunities to post their volunteer placements on the site to make them accessible to a wide audience of volunteers.
Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or are thinking of getting involved for the first time, registering through the VSB will enable us to keep you up to date on all the latest up-coming events and ways you can get involved. You can even log the hours you complete on your very own volunteer / coaching profile. Anybody can register, as long as you have plenty of enthusiasm and a drive to support others in sport.
Volunteers gain valuable experience experience, learn new skills, meet people and enjoy themselves whilst giving something back to their communities. There's no age limit.
Why not give it a go?
