Volunteering

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. 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! Scroll down to see the range of roles available.

"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 (Referee)

Anyone can volunteer in boccia. Whatever your age, experience or ability we would love to hear from you. If you would like to get involved, even in a role not listed:
