What could be better than getting out into the fresh air and enabling our disabled members (sailors) to enjoy the wonderful sport of sailing? Add a great bunch of people, a beautiful location like Spinnaker Lake, and you have the makings of a fantastic day out. This is what our volunteers experience throughout the season.
Being a volunteer with New Forest & District Sailability (NFDS) is a rewarding, satisfying and fun experience. You don't have to be able to sail, but if you want to learn we can teach you. We need volunteers for a whole range of duties including:
- Meeting and greeting our disabled members, who we refer to as sailors
- Fitting sailors with buoyancy aids
- Making teas
- Chatting with our sailors and making them feel part of the team
- Rigging and de-rigging boats
- Helping our sailors into and out of boats
- Using hoists
- Crewing and helming for our sailors
- Driving the power boat
- Training
- Repairing equipment
- Fund raising
- Admin tasks
We welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life, those with a disability, and people who are able-bodied but want to do something worthwhile.
Our volunteers and sailors make our club the success that it is; so why not contact us?
