Volunteers play an essential role in keeping our clubs thriving across all of our regions and that and is exactly the same for our Clubs across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. 

What our volunteers do

Our Volunteers help us with our club but here’s a brief taster of what they help us to do:

  • Session operate fortnightly currently across Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, so are ideal if you would like a regular volunteering opportunity – volunteers can be club facilitators or simply session supporters helping someone to lead the club.
  • Our volunteers love talking about their favourite teams, sporting greats or special sporting moments and engaging members to share their stories.
  • Volunteering with us is an opportunity to engage with people of all ages and backgrounds, especially older people – many of whom will be living with a condition such as dementia or low mood.
  • Our volunteers learn new and unique skills, through attending training sessions and while volunteering.
  • You will work as part of a small team – a great opportunity to meet and get to know new people.
