Volunteers Needed – Accessible Squash Session

We’re looking for a couple of friendly volunteers to support our Accessible Squash session on Tuesday afternoons (1–2pm) at Winchester Sport & Leisure Park.

No previous squash experience is needed — just a welcoming attitude and a willingness to get involved!

Our session supports adults with learning disabilities who are developing new skills through squash, including:

  • Confidence
  • Communication
  • Teamwork
  • Coordination
  • Basic racket skills

It’s a warm, welcoming and fun session, and a really rewarding way to get involved in community sport.

What we’re looking for:

  • Volunteers who can help one or two Tuesdays per month
  • Friendly, patient and encouraging people
  • A DBS check is ideal, but we can help arrange this if needed

We have 8 regular participants each week, who attend with their support workers from two local day service groups, so volunteers are part of a supportive team.

If you’d like to get involved or find out more, we’d love to hear from you!
