Volunteering with Special Olympics

Special Olympics offers a multisport club each week for people with intellectual (learning) disabilities aged 16 and above.   

Volunteers will assist in the running of several sports such as Boccia, Badminton, Short Map Bowls, Football, Tag Rugby, Kwik Cricket, Basketball, New Age Kurling, Indoor Athletics, Gym, and Table Tennis, which are played, to ensure variety and give everybody a chance to try out different sports.  

Special Olympics also works with a Plymouth-based charity called Plymouth Mayflower Specials, whose values align with those of Special Olympics.   

Free transport is provided to and from campus.   

Please purchase a free ticket to reserve your space. A receipt from purchasing your free ticket will tell you all of your event details and where to meet - this will be an email confirmation.   

This type of activity requires physical activity and sports. Please ensure you wear appropriate athletic clothing or clothing that will not hinder your participation in the sport. For example, leggings, tracksuit bottoms, long shorts, and t-shirts.
