Why volunteers are needed
Like almost every community group, we rely on volunteers to run and oversee the club, without volunteers the club would simply not exist and many young boys and girls would not get the football every week that we provide.

There is no such thing as a stereotypical volunteer, at Waveney F.C. we have volunteers who work in shops, schools, offices, factories, holiday camps, banks, off-shore industry, self employed workers, local authority employees, police officers and many more professions as well as stay at home mums / dads and those who have retired, in fact from almost every walk of life, but the one thing which brings us all together is that we are passionate about football and want to give something back to the local community and in particular to the young people within that community.

Whether you are looking to fill a few hours at the weekend, during the week or make a major contribution, we would love to hear from you.
Listed below are a number of areas in the club that you could get involved in:
