Volunteer Leeds 2017: A Chance to Give Back through Sports

Volunteering is a great way for individuals to give back to the community, gain experience, and build relationships. Volunteer Leeds 2017 provides an excellent opportunity for sports enthusiasts to volunteer in various sports events being held throughout the city. The sporting events are diverse including running races, triathlons, marathons, cycling tours, and many more.

Volunteers have a significant role in ensuring successful sports meets, and they can serve in different capacities depending on their interests and skills. Some of the volunteering roles include marshalling, first aid, registration, administrative support, liaising with participants, and logistics support. Volunteers working in these roles not only provide valuable assistance but also help create an unforgettable experience for all involved in the events.

One of the most prominent sporting events taking place this year is the Leeds Half Marathon which takes place on the 13th of May. This race will see around 7000 runners participate from across the UK, with volunteers playing a significant role supporting the runners. Volunteers are needed in various areas such as water stations, race start, finish line, and directing runners on the route.

In July, volunteers for the Yorkshire Warrior event will be engaged to play a key role in ensuring the obstacle course race is a success. As well as volunteering at these large-scale events, there are other opportunities for individuals to contribute to sports such as becoming an assistant coach, helping to run school sports programs, or assisting local clubs.

Volunteering in sports has numerous benefits, including fostering teamwork, community involvement, and personal growth. Not only do the participants benefit from the help provided by volunteers, but volunteers benefit personally and professionally. Volunteering offers an opportunity to make new contacts, gain new skills and experience, and improve job prospects.

The Volunteer Leeds 2017 scheme is open to anyone over 16 years old with a passion for sports. As well as providing the opportunity to give back, the scheme also provides incentives such as free T-shirts, refreshments and training opportunities.

In conclusion, Volunteer Leeds 2017 provides a great chance for residents of Leeds to use their love for sports to give back to the community. Volunteers are crucial to a successful sporting event, emulating teamwork, and building strong community relationships. Joining the corps of volunteers not only benefits the events but also participants, as well as personal and professional development.
