About VolunteerForge
Grassroots football clubs run on volunteers — but finding, organising, and keeping them is one of the hardest parts of running a club. That's where VolunteerForge comes in.
VolunteerForge is a consultancy built specifically for grassroots football clubs struggling with volunteer recruitment and retention. Whether you're relying on the same handful of people to do everything, dealing with undefined roles, or simply don't know where to start, we help you build a clearer, more sustainable volunteer structure.
We offer three core services to help your club get there:
Volunteer Health Check — an honest, independent review of where things stand, covering your current volunteer structure, gaps in coverage, role clarity, and support and retention. Rather than a lengthy report that ends up forgotten in a folder, you get a practical Volunteer Action Plan with clear next steps you can act on.
Volunteer Recruitment — hands-on support finding and bringing in the volunteers your club actually needs, not just filling gaps but finding the right fit.
Volunteer System Setup — building the structure, roles, and processes that make volunteering at your club sustainable long after we've helped set it up.
We work with clubs that want a fresh, outside perspective — clubs experiencing volunteer turnover, unclear responsibilities, or just the sense that recruitment could be working a lot better than it currently is.
If your club needs more hands, better structure, or a clear plan to stop relying on the same few people every season, get in touch to find out how VolunteerForge can help.
