Volunteering in the South East  

"The sports sector accounts for 26% of all volunteering, and volunteers are vital to the success of our national sporting life – the London Marathon relies on 6,000 volunteers, the Wimbledon Tennis Championship on 5,000, Open Golf on 1,200. The Manchester Commonwealth Games involved 10,000 volunteers, and the role of volunteers will be integral to the 2012 Olympic... (and Paralympic Games).”
