Volunteering Opportunities

Volunteering can be very rewarding and a great way of meeting new people and learning new skills. There are a vast array of roles supporting and surrounding sport that without which would not be able to function.
Opportunities are available across Cheshire East to volunteer with all ages of people in a variety of settings, such as childrens centres, community centres, estates, parks and schools. No previous experience of volunteering is needed. All we asked for is your enthusiasm, energy, commitment and interest in leisure, play or sport. For further details contact a member of the team on 01625504591 or by e-mailing sports@cheshireeast.gov.uk.
