A word about the volunteersA word about the volunteers

• Without the two million adult volunteers who contribute at least one hour a week to volunteering in sport, community sport would grind to a halt.

• Volunteers also play an incredible role in staging some of England's most prestigious sporting events. Without this volunteer workforce, the events simply wouldn't happen.
