Club Works

ClubWorks: Working to Upskill Volunteers

This is a programme of development workshops held across the region.  In 2009, 166 sports volunteers attended seven workshops on topics ranging from funding, event planning to engaging with your community.

The workshops aim to provide development opportunities for club volunteers whilst also bringing together volunteers from within clubs to find and promote best practice ideas.

These workshops are free for club volunteers to attend and clubs may send as many representatives as they wish.
