CLUB VOLUNTEERING GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT

A successful squash club is not just about the players

Volunteers are crucial to the success of any club, not just on court but in a variety of roles from catering to first aid. It is vital that we value their contributions, offer help and advice when required, and continue to create a positive volunteering experience for all.

The documents below set out some tips and guidance around how to create a positive volunteering environment and highlight some of the considerations needed when recruiting, inducting and supporting volunteers within your club.
