Sports ambassadors and volunteering
Medway Council recognises that sports volunteers are
the life-blood of British sport and are signing up Medway
Sports Ambassadors to help achieve its ambition of delivering
high quality sport to all.
Local sports volunteers play a vital role in the delivery,
organisation and administration of voluntary sports clubs, district
leagues, county governing bodies of sport and regional and national
sports governing bodies.
They are also vital to running successful sporting events,
whether at local, county, regional, national or international
level.
More than 100 local volunteers helped deliver Medway's first
ever global sporting event, the
Modern Pentathlon World Cup in April 2010.
Many of them returned for the 2011 Modern Pentathlon European
Championships.
These ambassadors and others will also play a vital
role in delivering our signature local events and national events
being staged in Medway including the
Medway Mile, British
Transplant Games, National
England Basketball Playoff Finals and the Medway
Festival of Sport.
If you would like to volunteer and sign up to be a Sports
Ambassador for any event currently listed or any in the pipeline,
please email sportsdevteam@medway.gov.uk
to register your interest.

Sport Makers
Sport Makers is a national programme which
aims to recruit people to help organise and support sport for those
aged 16 and older. They are looking to recruit 40,000 people
from across the country and everyone has a chance to get
involved.
Whether it's planning the route, finding the pitch or
encouraging people to take part, sport doesn't just happen. Coaches
and volunteers work tirelessly to enable others to take part, and
Sport Makers wants to find more people to help.
Workshop
There will be Sport Maker workshops throughout the UK; including
one at Medway Park on
Wednesday, 7 March 2012 from 6.30pm to 9pm.
Attendees will receive a free Adidas polo shirt and shoe bag.
If you accept the challenge and complete 10 hours of
sport-making activity after the workshop, you could secure tickets
to the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Sign up now by
selecting Kent or entering your postcode.
