The Active Schools Team works in partnership with a dedicated network of volunteers. Together we create more opportunities for children and young people to get active.

Volunteering information

We tailor every volunteering experience towards individual strengths and interests. This means everyone can contribute in a way that’s meaningful to them.

You do not need any previous experience — just enthusiasm and a passion for helping others. Volunteers are fully supported throughout their journey by their local Active Schools Coordinator.

Are you keen to make a positive difference and inspire more children to get active? Great! Scroll down for more information.
