Volunteer Leads help coordinate volunteers during events, ensuring activities run smoothly and safely. Approachable, reliable, and professional, they act as a first point of contact for volunteers, providing guidance, encouragement, and clear communication while working closely with SSW staff to create a positive and well-organised environment.

They also support new volunteers through the SSW Buddy System, sharing knowledge, promoting confidence, and modelling SSW’s values of respect and inclusion.
