Volunteers required to assist with projects to benefit Sheffield Wednesday and it's community.Wednesdayite get approached from many supporters asking how they can get 'hands-on' involved with Sheffield Wednesday. From time-to-time a number of projects come along that allow fans to get closer to their club and make a small, but extremely meaningful contribution to Sheffield Wednesday and it's community.
With a strong current relationship with SWFC, we envisage a number of opportunities where supporters can get involved in helping out. These volunteer-led projects are not designed for the purpose of replacing large-scale efforts at the club, but allow fans exactly the opportunity many of them crave - to have made a contribution.
The following are some of the areas where volunteer assistance is required, both for the Club and for Wednesdayite. If you are able to assist with any of these, please let us know. If you can draw in your friends and families to help, all the better!!
CLUB REQUESTS
Latest Volunteer Projects just released!:
Thursday 23rd July 14:00-17:00
Volunteers needed at the club shop to help collate the new membership 'packs' for juniors.
Friday 24th July 09:00- 7:00
Volunteers required to finish previous day's work if not completed.
Sunday 26th July
Volunteers required for the Open Day to help sell/launch new Sheffield Wednesday comic. Help with this in particular is needed!
- Also, volunteers required to help sell programmes for the Open Day / Friends of Africa match.
Saturday 8th August
10 volunteers required (ideally you need to be confident and politely assertive/proactive to get the sales) to sell the newly launched comic outside of the ground.
Washing Seats
The seats in the stands all need washing! Again, the Club is seeking our assistance from week commencing 22 June.
Clean Up Team
Required to sweep the South Stand and Grandstand after the Hull City game (Saturday 25 July) for a couple of hours to make sure that it is ready for the Open Day and Akpo's Charity Match which takes place on Sunday 26 July. Again, this is essential work that must be completed before the stadium can be opened for matches and events.
We are hoping that there will be some incentive, ie free tickets to the home friendlies and are just awaiting confirmation from the Club on this.
WEDNESDAYITE REQUESTS
Car Park Clean Up
We are planning a Wednesdayite Car Park Clean Up on Saturday 18 July from 8.30am onwards. This is an appeal for volunteers to come along and help out. As a special appeal we really need a JCB to clear what has been used as the 'Away' Car Park - we believe we could significantly increase the capacity if this area was cleared. If you know of any JCB owners out there that could help us out - either free or at a very competitive rate, please let us know. This is also a positive way of helping the local community by improving their environment.
Writing - Articles and Blogs
We normally produce a Newsletter approximately every quarter that is distributed to both members and non-members. We are looking for authors, journalists or anyone who feels they have the necessary skills to either take responsibility for producing the Newsletter or contributing articles. If you are interested and would like more information, please let us know.
Additionally, the new Wednesdayite Website will shortly be launched and some of the new features we are looking to introduce are regular fan articles and blogs. We are looking for confident, knowledgeable and opinionated writers who will be able to contribute regular (weekly) articles, such as match previews, match reviews and opinion piece blogs.
For more information on how you can take part in any of these projects and initiatives, please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Thank you in advance for your interest!
