    Being a Duke 4Sport Partner has helped us retain junior volunteers as they have continued in volunteering. It has also inspired them to gain accreditations and skills specific to sailing which has also been of assistance for rostering.

  • Duke of Ed Users have shown great commitment, dedication and understanding of the role they are playing for the enjoyment of others.

    Duke of Ed volunteers have undertaken a range of rotating roles and responsibilities related to game day participation, junior mentoring and more broader club engagement. Their involvement has enabled them to gain a greater understanding of the importance of volunteering, whilst developing a sense of club pride and personal achievement in the roles that they play.
