Volunteering
A
s a community club we
rely on volunteers – from
coaches to kitchen help, most of
the activity of the club wouldn’t
happen without our enthusiastic
and dedicated volunteers. There
are volunteering opportunities to
suit everyone’s availability- from
half-hour slots taking payments in
the kitchen to becoming a coach
or taking on one of our clubwide volunteering positions. We
know that life is busy – but there
are always ways & means to
support the club. To recognise the
importance of volunteers we are
introducing a new membership
fee structure that rewards
those who regularly support
the club through volunteering
with a signi昀椀cant discount on
membership fees.
We welcome volunteers with
any skills or expertise that you
feel could bene昀椀t the club. e
are currently particularly keen
to hear from club members who
have experience or expertise
in catering, accountancy and
communications who would
be willing to support the club in
these areas.
If you want to support the youth
team your children are playing
40
in, First aiders & Team manager
are key roles that can support
coaches and ensure players
experience high quality training
and development in a safe
environment.
As part of our commitment to
safeguarding, all volunteers who
will be working with youth teams
are subject to safer recruitment
practices, and any volunteer
carrying out regulated activity
(regular contact with children
under 18) will be required to hold
a valid DBS check through the RFU.
The club will provide guidance
through this process and there is
no cost to the volunteer.
