Club Supporters - Orkney

• Sporting Memories Foundation Scotland

• VO102142

Working alongside a Club Facilitator, you will enjoy connecting with people of all ages and backgrounds and understand the value of companionship. You will be able to engage and communicate sensitively with our members, with their partners or carers, with fellow volunteers and Sporting Memories staff. Being a sports fan is great but not essential for this role.

Volunteers will be required to:
• Ensure the smooth running of your Sporting Memories club along with the Club Facilitator;
• Support a programme of activities including quizzes, sports reminiscence and games;
• Keep records up to date - registration forms and weekly registers;
• Respect club participants’ contributions and ensure that every individual is allowed the time needed to contribute;
• Help with the tea/coffee break;
• Help to set up the room or hall and welcome members as they arrive;
• Attend volunteer training and enroll in the PVG scheme;
• Regular communication with Sporting Memories Volunteer Coordinator / staff member;
• Advise your Coordinator if you have concerns about the running of the club or participants.

For this role, you should be able to volunteer once a week, for around two or three hours and enjoy working as part of a team. Full support and training is provided. You will be recruited as part of a wider volunteer team.
