Volunteer your opinion!

Greater Sport's Volunteer Development Officer, Jill Mayers, is looking for a group of both males and females, aged 16 to 24, to voice their opinions to improve the volunteer scheme.
She is calling out for a group of young, enthusiastic people from the Greater Manchester area, to meet up to put their ideas and opinions forward on various oppurtunities to improve the scheme.
Greater Sport is looking for brand new ideas, to develop a new, cooler uniform, to make volunteers stand out.
Jill would also like to discuss opportunities to organise events to recruit new volunteers, to help out with the fast growing number of youngsters involved in the Greater Sport programmes. These meetings would also allow all those attending, to put forward their ideas, and discuss ways to encourage people to become involved.
These ideas could include organising events to make people more aware of the programme, or even organising functions to explain to the public what the Greater Sport scheme is all about and different ways they could help to impove the organisation.
These meetings would be very informal, and would also incluse refreshments, and would takemplace two o three times a year.
A date and place is yet to be arranged but if you are interested in putting forward your ideas, you can either contact Jill either by e.mailing her at: jillm@greatersport.co.uk, or by texting her on 07881900384, giving her your age and the area you livein Greater Manchester.
Anyone interested in helping out with the sports scheme for young people is welcome. Volunteering can be rewarding in many ways and the meetings will benefit both the volunteers and the young people who take part in the Gretaer Sport scheme. So for more information just get in touch with Jill by either e.mailing or texting her, and she will give you any arrangements and further information as and when she gets it.
