  9. Volunteers – The Value

  10. Volunteers – The value Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless.

  11. Source: Sports Volunteering in Wales research project. Base: all adults aged 15 and above in Wales Sports volunteering in Wales Qualitative research: four routes into volunteering

  12. Uniting a Proud Sporting Nation People usually ‘fall into’ volunteering • Most don’t proactively seek opportunities, even when they are interested in volunteering • Students are the only proactive “type” • Roped into’ supporting activities that • they already had some involvement in • Opportunities arise within clubs/classes and existing social networks • People are most likely to respond to a specific need expressed to them directly in their local community

  13. Building local capacity Recommendation: Sport Wales’ approach to working with clubs and centres should build on the organic model, making it easier for people to ‘fall into’ volunteering. This should include support to: • Identify their needs for coaches and volunteers • Develop a clear strategy for strengthening the volunteer base • Define and describe (and break up) roles, skills needed and time commitments more clearly • Build confidence in asking for help –materials to support this? • Provide appropriate support for coaches and volunteers, including developing local networks where wanted • Build links with schools and other partner organisations
