Volunteers are always needed and are welcomed at Barry Beavers.
Most of our volunteers have no experience when they join the club. There are many volunteer roles within the club, the most popular is the chance to help people in the pools. There are many other roles available too, from helping around the pools, working with fundraising for the club. Helping at club events is always needed. Just saying yes, I can help, is always appreciated.
There are no rules for how often you need to help, it’s great if volunteers can help each week for the club sessions, but if you can’t make it always that’s fine.
Do you know that you can be a young volunteer at Barry Beavers age 14 years old - Wow!
And if you don’t want to help in the pool, how about helping as a Poolside Assistant?
The primary purpose of this role will be to support our safeguarding officers during pool sessions. The role is to supervise the poolside and changing areas during swimming. This role does not require lifeguarding skills or first aid training.
Swimming sessions are run by Halliwick instructors, who teach in the pool. Additional eyes on poolside ensure that members are always safe.
Hey remember volunteers are so important to the club, it’s very rewarding and great fun too.
