If you have a passion for sports or just enjoy a particular sport, then you could get involved with sports activities across Wirral.

The Sports Development Unit works with young people, particularly from deprived areas, using sports as a way of integrating young people and helping confidence building. Volunteers can help in facilitating the sporting activities and there are opportunities for volunteers to access sports leadership training

During the school holidays there are also various schemes run by groups such as New Ferry Village Hall, Hoylake & District CVS and Future Focus. Most of the sporting opportunities are focused on young people.

For people who enjoy swimming there are swimming clubs for people with disabilities and volunteers are always needed to help at their weekly sessions.

Wirral Riding for The Disabled, which holds sessions at three site in Wirral, relies on volunteers to assist the riders in mounting and dismount the horses and lead the horses.

There are opportunities for keen sailors to offer their time as voluntary crew members on sailing trips for young people, who face difficulties. And for land lovers, the Walking for Health Initiatives, has opportunities across Wirral for people to lead walks in semi urban and rural areas. These walks are designed for enjoyment and health.

For those in volunteering positions with unsupervised access to children or vulnerable adults, criminal records checks are necessary.
