Volunteer
Volunteers are at the core of community football.
Without their time and effort, clubs and leagues simply wouldn’t function. They contribute across every part of club life, from administration and governance to partnerships, fundraising, community engagement and member wellbeing.
There’s a role for everyone at your local club, no matter your skills, experience or availability!
Volunteer roles at a PFL club span club operations and governance, coaching and football, match day and game operations, medical and player welfare, community engagement, events and fundraising, media, marketing and partnerships, and canteen and facilities.

If you’re after additional support, you can also access our Member Assistance Program, which offers up to three free psychological support sessions.
