We Need You
Volunteering
Volunteers are vital in community sport. At Newtown City Hockey Club, we aim to be a sustainable club with a friendly and welcoming environment for all.
The Club cannot operate without the help of members who kindly volunteer their time. There are a wide range of volunteer opportunities, whether you can help with one-off tasks or regular activities. Opportunities exist in coaching, team management, umpiring, administration, fundraising, social events, uniform and equipment sales and many more.
Fundraising and Social Activities
Member support is requested for fundraising and social activities during the season. These events help to cover non-competition costs, member recruitment activities, and facility improvements.
If you are unable to participate in any of the fundraising events, we would welcome your donation. Tax deductible donations can be made through the Australian Sports Foundation to our Shining Stars Fund: Supporting Achievements of Local and Representative Players
If you have a great idea for a fundraising or social event, we would love to hear from you.
