TeamKinetic is proud to have created a new website for the Sports Volunteering Research Network. TeamKinetic sees the role of research in the voluntary sector as essential for growth, sustainability and resilience.  Linking high-quality research to practitioners is one of the key areas of development for the sector.

The Sports Volunteering Research Network

The UK SVRN has run since 2006 and was founded by Dr Geoff Nichols of Sheffield University.  It was reconstituted in its current form in 2012. The network aims to assist the progress of new ideas and practice in sports volunteering; which is key for understanding the direction of the sports and third sector. SVRN meet twice a year to present new research and discuss ideas.

The SVRN is completely independent. However, they work with a number of organisations such as Sports England, Sports Wales, Sport and Recreation Alliance, and NCVO.  The network is growing,  and it allows anyone with an interest in sports volunteering to join the SVRN.

Sports volunteering is important to us and our customers. Here is a taste of the quality information and research papers you will be able to find on the new website.

Dr Fiona Reid,  Lecturer in Events and Sports Management at Glasgow Caledonian University and vice-chair of the SVRN said “We are a network of researchers and practitioners who want to share resources and information and best practice about sports volunteering. The website allows us to share our archives and allow more people to access our work.

We hope that it will facilitate the network and increase our reach to those that may not have heard of us before.”

Chris Martin, Director of TeamKinetic said  “its a real pleasure to support the work the of Sports Volunteer Research Network, Teamkinetic are committed to the development of high-quality research and the sharing of best practice. The people behind the SVRN are leading the way in bringing together volunteer managers academics and organisations that are raising the profile of volunteer management.

This website we have helped develop is another useful tool in their work. We look forward to supporting them in the future.”
