Volunteer with Us

Volunteer support is at the heart of everything we do.

You can give your time to help educate communities, join a local patrol, support events, assist with training or help with club leadership and activities. Opportunities are available across all ages and experience levels.

Becoming a volunteer:

Gives you valuable skills and training

Connects you with your local community

Helps keep beaches and waterways safer

“Volunteers are essential to the delivery of community sport. Across the country, thousands of people give their time to coach, officiate and support grassroots clubs, often sustaining provision that would not otherwise exist.”

- from the Game On report to the House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee

Why Your Support Matters

Every year, Surf Life Saving GB volunteers:

Deliver thousands of training awards

Patrol beaches and inland water environments

Educate communities on water safety and drowning prevention

Support rescue and response initiatives alongside partners like HM Coastguard and RNLI

Your support ensures we can continue this lifesaving work and inspire the next generation of volunteers and lifesavers.

Together, we help make watersides safer for everyone.
