Sports Leaders Volunteer Recognition Scheme

The nomination process has now started for the Sports Leaders UK Volunteer Recognition Scheme 2010. The Sports Leaders UK Volunteer Recognition Scheme acknowledges those Sports Leaders who have used their sports leadership skills to make a contribution to their local communities, demonstrating that sports leadership and volunteering really does make a difference. The scheme highlights the excellent work of Sports Leaders across the UK, celebrating sports leadership and its impact on British sport. It encourages more people to become Sports Leaders, strengthening the opportunities to get involved and active in volunteering in every community.

All nominees must hold a Sports Leaders UK award or qualification, be aged 14 or over and have completed at least an additional 10 hours of volunteering in their community since becoming a Sports Leader. Sports Leaders UK is looking for nominations for anyone that has gone the extra mile to develop their leadership skills and volunteer their time for the benefit of their local community. All Sports Leaders that are nominated will receive a Certificate of Thanks, which will include details of the organisation that nominated them and the reasons why.

The Sports Leaders UK Recognition Scheme Panel will consider all applications, and the winner will become the Sports Leaders UK Volunteer Ambassador 2010. The award will be presented this autumn, and the winner will hold the position for 12 months, during which time they will be involved in a variety of activities, including attending Sports Leaders UK national events and the handover of the title at a prestigious Sports Leaders UK event.
