Spring Together CIC is looking for friendly and enthusiastic volunteers to help support our free weekly GetFit Hub physical activity sessions in Oldham.
GetFit Hub helps adults become more physically active in a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment. Participants may include people who have been inactive, have low fitness or confidence, live with pain or long-term health conditions, or experience financial barriers to accessing physical activity.
Community Volunteers will play an important role in helping participants feel welcomed, encouraged and included. You do not need to be a fitness or healthcare professional. We are looking for people who are friendly, dependable and interested in making a positive difference in their community.
