Volunteers are the lifeblood of boccia, making an invaluable commitment and contribution to the sport across England. Without the network of dedicated volunteers that give up their time and energy, boccia simply wouldn’t happen.
Whatever your age, experience or ability we would love to hear from you!
By giving time to boccia, volunteers create playing opportunities for athletes at all levels and provide overall support for the development of the sport.
Volunteering is a rewarding experience, providing a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, travel to new locations (paid for), gain confidence, develop skills and, overall, have fun!
"I love volunteering for Boccia England as it gives me a chance to give something back to people like myself, and being an official is also a good way to keep in touch with the sport" Matt Annan
