Volunteering 

Volunteers play an important role in making sport and physical activity happen, from coaching to driving a mini bus, washing the kit, promoting events and supporting activities. Without volunteers many events and activities would fail to run. 
 
At Trilogy Active we recognise the value that volunteers bring to our events and activities. We provide a variety of opportunities for people of all ages to get involved in and offer support to get people started on their volunteering journey. 
 
Please see below for the range of exciting opportunities to get involved with.

Making new friends 
Keeping fit 
Having fun
