Volunteering Opportunities with the Academy

[AdeR]

Volunteering opportunities:
Beacon Cycling Academy works completely on volunteer labour. Needless to say, there is plenty to do! We know that being a cyclist keeps you busy! So, there are a number of very different jobs that range from an hour here and there to a regular commitment. Have a look and see if any of the roles match your availability and skills. Whatever you can do will be appreciated and will be an opportunity to put something back into the club and help to promote healthy activity for children and young people. We have race events scheduled Fridays from 11th July to 1st August
Please get in touch [academy@beaconrcc.org.uk] if you could be interested in taking on any of these roles - or sign up below.
