At one time or another, we have been told about the benefits of volunteering, not only physical but also mental benefits to our health and wellbeing.

John Stanley speaks to Dr Lindsey Reece, Chair of Sports Volunteer Coalition Action Plan. They chat about the Australian Sports Commission and how they have recently launched a four-year action plan to address the decline of volunteers at community sports.

The Action Plan outlines the Coalition’s vision of putting people first in this new approach to encourage more people to get involved in sports volunteering. To find out more about the plan or share your story about volunteering, click on the link
