Working alongside a Club Facilitator, you will enjoy connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds and understand the value of companionship.

Being a sports fan is great but not essential for this role.
Volunteers will be required to:
1. Ensure the smooth running of your Sporting Memories club along with the Club Facilitator;
2. Support a programme of activities including quizzes, sports reminiscence, and games;
3. Keep records up to date - registration forms and weekly registers;
4. Respect club participants’ contributions and ensure that every individual is allowed the time needed to contribute;
5. Help with the tea/coffee break;
6. Help to set up the room or hall and welcome members as they arrive;
7. Attend volunteer training and enroll in the PVG scheme;
8. Maintain regular communication with Sporting Memories Volunteer Coordinator / staff member;
9. Advise your Coordinator if you have concerns about the running of the club or participants.
For this role, you should be able to volunteer once a week, for around two or three hours and enjoy working as part of a team. Full support and training are provided. You will be recruited as part of a wider volunteer team.
