check out the volunteer roles
Everyone is welcome
If you've got a smile and are keen, we want you! No experience is required, but if you do have skills like first aid, retail, traffic management or social media let us know and we'll try to use them. You'll have a team leader, and get briefed so you have everything you need to have a great day. We have roles where you don't need to be very active such as our medal team, all the way up to cycling as a tail-end Charlie ensuring all our athletes are safe.
