Why should I volunteer?

Scottish Powerlifting is a volunteer run organisation, and without the dedication of our amazing members and supporters, we simply couldn’t operate. We host a full calendar of events each year. In 2025, we ran a record 20 competitions! Each one depends on a strong team of volunteers to ensure the day runs smoothly and safely. If you love the sport and want to give back, we would love your help to make competitions happen! You don’t need to be a member to volunteer, we just ask that you bring your energy and enthusiasm!
