The Sport and Recreation Alliance's volunteer opportunity finder aims to easily connect volunteers to events and clubs they can help at, and has been launched in UK Volunteers' Week which runs from 1-7 June.
"Sport and recreation volunteers play a big part in getting the nation more active, improving wellbeing and building communities," says Alliance chief executive Emma Boggis. "Our new volunteer opportunity finder will encourage involvement with a simple and easy way to find activities and make a real difference, including for those in the under-represented 25-34 age range. By getting this process right, we can make a happier and healthier nation while building stronger communities across the UK."
