volunteering & active citizenship @ Pride Games

Pride Games 2010 events from June 5 - 13th 2010

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.  Our priority this year is for Race Marshals for our 5k run / community relay Sunday 6 June and our 10k runs based at Salford Quays 13 June, plus community photographers (own equipment necessary, but doesn't have to be fancy).  If you have other skills and would like to offer your service, drop an e-mail to   or ring 07941 384 988

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 2010 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
