http://www.do-it.org/about-us
Do-it was launched in 2001 with the first national database of volunteering opportunities in the UK.
Do-it is part of the registered charity YouthNet, a non-profit-making organisation. They make a small charge to
organisations registering their opportunities.
Posting opportunities
The majority of opportunities on Do-it come from local Volunteer Centres in England. These organisations have
been provided with hardware, software and training so that they can upload their vacancies onto the do-it
database. In addition, some national organisations post their opportunities directly on to www.do-it.org.uk.
Local organisations in England, recruiting volunteers in a specific geographic area, should get in touch with
their local Volunteer Centre (VC) who will post opportunities on their behalf.

• Recruit a Volunteer Coordinator
Recruit a Volunteer Coordinator – someone to look after your volunteers
• Someone who can empower a team of volunteers who collectively
have the skills to do all that is needed
• YOUR club’s members/community/parents and family of children within your junior section
may have the required skills!!
• Volunteers will be responsible for the achievement of all the objectives
and so they need to be recruited, briefed and looked after before,
during and after the event.
• The event is a fantastic way of encouraging new people to help out at the club.
• With someone there with a responsibility for them it will improve the chances of the club in
retaining some of these volunteers to help out throughout the season.

• Set Aims
• Clarify Responsibility

looking for funding! It’s the first time this booklet has been produced and ECB/NatWest have plans to update
it year-on-year. Very interesting indeed!

Sponsorship
· Do not assume sponsorship is fixed income, but rather seen as the ‘icing on the cake’
· Big benefit is that you are not competing with other clubs!
· Sponsorship packages attract investment to a club in return for promotional opportunities
· The best candidates are national companies that have a presence in your community and local firms
that are keen to advertise their services. Attracting sponsors and maintaining sponsor-club
relationships is a demanding job and may request an investment in marketing material
· You may want to offer different levels of sponsorship, so it is not reliant on one big sponsor to fulfil its
sponsorship targets
How to write a good sponsorship proposal
Being proactive and professional can help secure valuable funding from businesses
· Create a professional package - well-presented document indicates professionalism in the club.
· Make an attractive offer - what can you can deliver to a sponsor
e.g. shirt branding, signage, website links, programme advertising, VIP seats, special events, newsletter
sponsorship
· Clearly specify the level of finance or other support you expect from a sponsor.
· Offer a range of opportunities and costs, in order to attract different levels of support.

The project operates throughout the whole of Kent and Medway, in both rural and urban areas. The service is available to any group
in the county. It will not however normally assist very large organisations or branches of national bodies.
