This year has seen many successful events including the Leeds Half Marathon, West Yorkshire Youth Games and Leeds Volunteer Fair. Volunteers have continued to play a vital role in the delivery of sport in Leeds and in order that this can continue into 2012 and beyond I have produced a Sports Volunteering Strategy . Copies of the document are available by contacting julie.lewis@leeds.gov.uk
This editions theme is around funding and there are a number of new pots of funding currently available. If you require help in applying for any of the funding please contact me and I will be happy to put you in touch with a sport development officer who will assist you. A very successful funding workshop took place at Moortown RFC and was attended by 60 people from approx40 clubs representing a variety of sports.
It is intended to deliver more of these workshops and when dates and venues have been decided I will send out the information. If anyone is interested in hosting one of these or any other workshops then please contact me with details of the facilities you have available and I will be happy to pass them to the team.
If you require further information around sports volunteering then please contact me on 0113 3950614 or e mail me atjulie.lewis@leeds.gov.uk
I wish you a very merry christmas anda healthy and prosperous new year!
