A Birmingham 2022 legacy: The community of volunteers making our sport special

Our sport is special thanks to the volunteers, without whom events, such as our U20, Senior and Para Championships last weekend, could not happen. These championships were supported by volunteers from Birmingham United by 2022 Volunteer Collective. We caught up with five volunteers at the weekend on their experiences of volunteering at the Commonwealth Games, what they love about volunteering and how they get involved now.
