There are loads of opportunities available. You can run a Rock Up & Play session, organise a league, help out with an event, be a Pop Up Sports activator and much more. Please contact warwickactive at warwick dot ac dot uk for more information.

We offer a whole range of sports and you can volunteer in any of them.

Log your hours by clicking the button on the right hand side of the Volunteering homepage. You can either submit your hours weekly or termly, whichever suits you best!
