What to do next?

If you are 16-19 and still in education with a view to volunteering in sport at a community venue then please fill in the application form today. Once you are registered we will send you out a welcome pack and get you started on your volunteering journey. If you require more information then please contact your school who can provide you with more information on the passport scheme. On receiving your welcome pack and passport details from your school we will support you in finding a club and you can begin to build those hours up. If you already have somewhere to start your volunteering then you can start to build those hours up to achieve that Dame Kelly double gold award.
