Over the
last few weeks, we have been approached by a number of individuals and local
businesses offering their skills and experience completely free of charge as we
progress through the ongoing challenges of Covid-19 and embed our sustainability
initiatives to provide strong foundations for the Club as a whole and success
on the pitch.We have
also been listening to a large number of our supporters who have told us that
they will “do anything” for the Club they adore.So we aretherefore launching our VolunteerInitiative to further strengthen, and deepen, our pool of dedicated
supporters and local businesses who feel they have the skills, experience, time
availability and personal commitment to support the Club's Executive Management
in the running of their Club.What isthe Club looking for?
It is
more a question of ‘what can you do for the Club?' and we invite you to tell us
exactly what skills and experience you feel you can offer us. It's not just
about sharing your ideas, it's about rolling up your sleeves and helping us get
things done.We have
set out below some suggestions of the kind of skills, across a number of
operational areas, that our dedicated supporters or local businesses may
possess and would be keen to help us with. However this list is far from exhaustive,
so if you feel you have a valuable skill set or business acumen in other areas
that can support the Club then we would love to hear from you as well.Operational Area | Relevant skills |
