Make a Difference in Your Community with Trafford Leisure

 

Volunteering with Trafford Leisure is about more than lending a hand — it’s about helping people feel supported, welcomed, and confident. Whether you’re guiding someone to their first swim lesson, supporting our health programmes, or simply offering a friendly face at the door, your time and energy can have a big impact.

Right now is the perfect time to get involved — as we mark Volunteers’ Week (2nd–8th June 2025), we’re celebrating the power of volunteering and the people behind it.

 

 

Why Volunteer with Us?

Volunteering at Trafford Leisure is a rewarding way to give back to your local community, meet new people, and grow your own skills.

Our volunteers:

• Help new visitors feel at ease in busy centres like Stretford

• Support ‘Move More’ health and wellbeing sessions, including making drinks, chatting to attendees, and giving that extra bit of encouragement

• Provide a friendly welcome at reception and help customers find their way

“You don’t need experience — just a desire to help people feel more confident. That’s what I wanted when I first walked through the doors. Now I can be that for someone else.” – Eva, Volunteer

 

Real People. Real Impact.

Many of our current volunteers first came through our services themselves. Now, they’re giving something back.

Over the past year, we’ve welcomed volunteers across Stretford, Sale, Partington and Altrincham — all helping us make Trafford Leisure an even better place to be.
