This year get on your marks and get set for a new volunteer scheme, Barnsley Best.
The Newham Barnsley Partnership is launching the scheme to promote volunteering and participation in cultural events and local sports in Barnsley.
The scheme brings together a range of fantastic volunteer opportunities for anyone aged 16 years old or over, who wants to get involved in one day events or sport clubs. There is something for everyone with roles from marshalling and umpiring, to non-sporty roles such as assisting with the promoting events, web design and much more.
Theres no commitment. Barnsley Best is a flexible scheme so volunteers can sign-up to help out at as many events as they want. There are also opportunities to gain qualifications from first aid to coaching.
For anyone who is interested in finding out more or joining Barnsley Best their will be workshops taking place from 6pm to 8.30pm on:
"" Thursday, 23 February at The Metrodome, Queens Road, Barnsley
"" Thursday, 22 March and Thursday, 19 April, both at The Core, County Way, Barnsley
