Club Welfare Officer Support

Confirmed Dates to support this Vital Volunteer Role

Cumberland FA are delighted to confirm the following Support sessions for Club Welfare Officers for the remainder of the season.

Designated Safeguarding Welfare Officer Mel Sandwith commented “The sessions are an opportunity for grassroots Club Welfare Officers to come along and get up to date information to support them in their role. The sessions will also give CWO’s the chance to meet other volunteers in the same role and build up a support network to support this key role within grassroots football. CWO’s can get in touch with me anytime but we want to provide these opportunities for face to face meetings as requested last year.”
