Volunteer Business Consultant [20719]

Sported Scotland

Who are we?
Sported understands how strengthening the impact, sustainability and inclusivity of grassroots sports clubs allows them to transform lives and shape their local communities. Our team delivers expertise, resources and support programmes to organisations and groups that utilise sport and physical activity to create a positive impact. Through that, Sported ensures that everyone has equal access to the myriad benefits provided by community sport.

What will I do as a Sported volunteer?
You’ll use your skills and lived experience to help groups overcome operational challenges, become better equipped for the future, and tackle inequality in sport. Most of our roles are quite flexible and work around your schedule. We do our best to only share opportunities we think are relevant to you. With most of our volunteering support being delivered digitally, it’s even easier to get started supporting members across our network. Travel expenses in line with our policy are covered in the instances in-person meetings occur.

What will I get out of it?
You will get to meet the inspirational faces of community groups across the UK and immerse yourself in their work; use your existing skills in a rewarding fashion whilst developing new ones; guide members to become more inclusive; network with other like-minded individuals helping grassroots sports groups survive; and so much more. Our volunteers say that making a positive difference to our members is what they most enjoy about volunteering at Sported.

Most importantly, you will be able to give something back to your community – an asset that so many of our volunteers enjoy – and also have fun!
