First volunteers trained in Northern Ireland

The first volunteers have been trained in Northern Ireland and are now ready to work with Member organisations to help build their capacity in a number of areas.  sported. is delighted to welcome our first four volunteers who come from a range of backgrounds. The volunteers  have a wealth of experience and knowledge, which will be of great benefit to the groups that they work with. 

The skilled volunteer programme is being rolled out in a phased approach across Northern Ireland over the next year, with Belfast and Newry and Mourne first.   sported. Northern Ireland is encouraging more skilled volunteers to join the team, particularly those who are interested in volunteering in the Newry and Mourne area and Belfast.

With the aim of having our first Mentors and Members matched by Mid-May, sported. will be looking for volunteers from all areas across Northern Ireland during the course of the year and welcomes enquires from anyone interested in joining the team. To apply to become a sported. Mentor, click here.
