Volunteering Programme
Volunteering Opportunities Programme 2009
Volunteering is
increasingly important for local communities as a way of
encouraging people, from a broad range of backgrounds, interests
and experiences, to work together towards a common goal and put
something back into their local community.
Culture, Sport and Community Learning Service
have produced a guide for Redbridge residents, of all Cultural and
Leisure volunteering opportunities that are available
within Redbridge.
Volunteers will significantly contribute to the provision
of some of our services and the programme is a precursor to the
London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, where it is hoped that a
large number of volunteers will contribute to its success.
The benefits of this programme for volunteers are vast. They
include gaining new skills, improving existing skills, boosting
confidence, creating opportunities to meet new people and
potentially contributing to the development of the
community.
It is hoped that by taking a regular part in volunteering, the
experience will give residents a greater chance of being able to
volunteer at the
2012 Games.

Sports Workshops
The Redbridge Sport and Physical

Sports Volunteering brochure which will contain essential
information on the sports volunteering scheme plus lots of ideas on
how you can get involved.
