Volunteer
Would you be interested in volunteering with our Active Schools Hockey classes? We'd love to hear from you! All experience levels are welcome. Please email Stewart Sands, Active Schools Coordinator at ssands@elcschool.org.uk
Please note: the deadline for booking is 2 working days before the start of the activity block. This is to help us ensure we know participant numbers and information in advance of classes starting, and allow us time to prepare registers and share this information with coaches and activity leaders. If you would like to book after this time or after an activity block has started, please email Stewart Sands, Active Schools Coordinator directly at ssands@elcschool.org.uk to check if spaces are available.
14th August 2025 | Update from Stewart Sands, Active Schools Coordinator
Hello! We're looking forward to the 2025-26 school year and are in the process of planning our activity programme for Term 1 and beyond.
Due to annual leave through early September, most activities will start after the September Break (with the exception of Beginner Karate).
With various changes in availability for a few of our volunteers, there may be changes to last year's programme, and in some cases we may be unable to reintroduce all activities. However, we are aiming to recruit more volunteers to help us provide a range of activities and opportunities throughout the year. Please keep an eye out for updates from your child's school.
Thank you for your ongoing support - Stewart.
