Premier League

vInspired and the Premier League’s Make The Team campaign is all about inspiring young football fans to volunteer, with the Premier League offering them the chance to win match day tickets at their favourite clubs. 

Bill Bush, Director of Communications and Public Policy at Premier League explained: “Premier League clubs have a long tradition of supporting volunteering, so this new ‘Make the Team’ campaign is a great way of highlighting that work and reminding people there is always a broader team working behind the scenes to help those playing on the pitch.

Volunteering is valued by the Premier League: there are over 3,700 volunteers who donate time to work on Premier League activities taking place at the heart of their communities. The role of the volunteer is a key element within football, covering all aspects of the game and creating a real sense of community. Every player, from grassroots beginnings through to those who perform on the Barclays Premier League stage every week, is likely to have had support from a volunteer at some point during their football career; be that a coach, a steward, or a supporter who has helped paint the grounds, volunteers play a vital role in football.”
