Volunteers play a massive role in all walks of life including sport and physical activity. Without volunteers activities and events delivered by our Sports Development Team would not happen as their hard work and efforts are so important.

A lot of clubs and groups in Darlington are ran by volunteers who give up their own free time to make sure facilities are booked, strips are cleaned, club accreditation is achieved, coaching sessions are delivered and so much more. Another reason behind volunteering is to gain knowledge and experience in an area that is of interest and may lead into a career such as coaching.
Statistics on the Volunteering England website, taken from a document commissioned by Sport England in 2002, shows that there are 5,821,400 sports volunteers in England, which makes up 14% of the adult population. If these figures are not incredible enough it is estimated that the value of time contributed by sports volunteers in England is £14 billion - priceless!
