volunteering & active citizenship @ Pride Games
Pride Games 2009 events from 31 May - 7 June
We are seeking to promote understanding, to encourage sport across all communities, encourage and develop new sports groups and interest groups, build partnerships to enable future large scale sports events and have a lot of fun in the process.
Current Volunteer Opportunities
PrideGames is organised by a voluntary association of LGBT sports groups from Greater Manchester, so we are all volunteers. We continue to work very hard to ensure quality events that are well run and this is where your assistance will be most valuable.

Volunteer Training
To help volunteers learn more about Pride Games our volunteer induction will be co-ordinated and delivered by Pride Games representatives as necessary and for 2008 we are recruiting a core team of volunteers who will recieve training. Safety is very important at Pride Games so training will be provided as necessary. A key contact list will be provided in case you need help, or to talk to someone. For more information e-mail
