LEAP Sports Scotland Volunteer Sports Leader - Pride Action Network

The Pride Action Network is a pilot project led by LEAP Sports Scotland to help partners and volunteers develop and deliver physical activity programmes for the LGBTIQ+ community in Edinburgh. As a volunteer sports leader, you would work alongside the LEAP Sports team to help shape the programme, support recruitment and promotion, and contribute to gathering participant feedback and evaluation.

The role is suited to someone with strong interpersonal skills, an interest in sport or physical activity, and the confidence to take initiative. It offers an opportunity to play a practical part in making sport more inclusive and welcoming for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex and queer people, while helping to reduce barriers to participation.

Training is provided, including LGBTIQ+ inclusion, sports first aid, mental health and other relevant topics. The pilot is expected to take place across multiple locations, including public and private training facilities, and travel expenses are covered, alongside reimbursement for agreed activities such as telephone calls.
