There is a whole host of events happening in
Kingston during 2012 in sport, art and
culture during the countdown to London 2012
and beyond. |
|
To mark Kingston’s celebrations Kingston’s
Cultural Olympiad has brought together a 14
week Programme of Events across Kingston for
local residents and visitors to either watch
or participate in. This programme will run
from 2nd June to 9th September 2012. Many of
these events are already well know such as
the Dragon Boat Challenge, Kingston Regatta,
Thames Open Swim, Carnival and International
Youth Arts Festival with some new events
taking place such as the Alternate Olympics
(one to look out for!) |
|
You can view a full list of
events here |
|
Volunteers will play a key role
in making these events happen, you can
volunteer for the event/s that appeal to you
and there is no long term
time commitment. We can’t do it without you
so why not be part of something BIG
and Volunteer for Kingston. |
|
Registration is easy and is co-ordinated by
Kingston Volunteer Centre. |

| The Good Sports
Project is drawing to a close after three
years of recruiting and placing volunteers
in local sports clubs and assisting in local
events. |
| We would like to
offer our thanks to Hedley Featherstone for
assisting clubs in identifying volunteer
opportunities and also to the clubs who gave
their time to train and welcome volunteers
brought to you through this project. |
 |
| Volunteers play a
major role within the community and give
their time selflessly, this project has
raised the profile of volunteers in the
borough and their knowledge and skills that
come with them. Thank you to everyone that
took part. |

Information
For Clubs |
| Sport Kingston recognises
that the vast majority of clubs rely on
volunteers to run from day to day. They in
turn need support to ensure that they
continue to help and enjoy giving their
time. Listed here are organisations geared
to finding new volunteers and advise on
volunteering issues, training and retention. |
