Volunteers Needed – Will You Help Us Parents?
It’s that time again when we reach out to Parents to help us with the running the various aspects of your children’s club. Simply put, we need more volunteers to help us in the various aspects of running the club, more so now as we continue to grow. We currently have an incredible bunch of volunteers who dedicate their spare time to the club and the development of each and every Slipstreamer, and without whom the club cannot function – it is that simple. Some of us are teachers, writers, police officers, doctors, lawyers, directors, artists and so on etc, so we fully understand that time is precious, especially with family!! But even just 30 minutes to an hour of will make a difference, and will help us take this amazing club even further for the children we give our time for willingly because we want each and every one of them to succeed!
If you are able to spare some time for the club, perhaps on a Saturday morning, at a race event, or during the week for an hour or two, we particularly need your help in the following areas:
Club Operations & Administration: We are always in need of people to help us run the various aspects of the back office. We need assistance with data entry into spreadsheets, editorial work for the newsletter, and curation/ collation of information – to name but a few. If you know how to use a computer at a basic level, or even have more intermediate/ advanced skills, please come forward – we could use you, and any bit of additional help would be welcomed! Even if you don’t know how to use a computer – there are loads of other areas you can help out with, so do get in touch!
Volunteering at Races: Club Champs are coming up, as are many race events that will require helpers. We are always on the lookout for volunteers to help with marshalling, judging, first aid, flag waving, trophy organisers, bell ringing, lap board changing and gear checking – among others. If you would like to be part of the group of volunteers that can be called on to assist, please let us know.
So the big question to you is: are you interested in helping? If the answer is yes, please get in touch, letting us know where you want to help (operations or races or both), your general skills, and availability. Every contribution matters, so please do come forward and help us run your children’s club!
