The IFI believes that there is a role and strong business case for volunteers within the fitness suite environment. The value of this is magnified when working with disabled clients. The IFI shall support and empower accredited IFI Sites to develop and deliver their own volunteer programmes with a specific focus upon the inclusion of disabled people in fitness provision.
A Volunteering Resource Pack shall be developed to support fitness facilities and made available to all IFI sites along with opportunities to recruit volunteers directly.
IFI volunteering opportunities should be available from March onwards however the English Federation of Disability Sport are currently recruiting volunteers for their Advocacy & Activity Buddy Scheme (AABS) and If you would like any further information please contact:-
