sported. are pleased to announce a new opportunity that will provide West Midlands Members with access to volunteers.

A new partnership has been developed with The University of Birmingham that will provide sported. Members with access to students completing the Sport, Physical Education and Coaching Sciences course. As part of this course students are required to complete 50 hours of community volunteers, with sported. the main supplier of these opportunities. Whilst students are required to complete a minimum of 50 hours it is hoped that many will stay involved in their placements on completion of these hours providing our Members with much needed volunteers.

Students will be able to complete both hands on work with young people or office/development tasks with placements flexible to suit the roles required within your project. Roles completed by volunteers may include - Assistant coaches, Referee/Umpires/Marshalls, Youth Work Assistants, Event organisers, Sports administrators, Researchers and many other roles.

West Midlands members have been informed of this opportunity however if you are member and interested in hosting a student volunteers within your project please contact the West Midlands Regional Manager, John Ellery, using the details found here.
