Allsports Coaches Coaching Academy CIC (ACCA) is a not-for-profit social enterprise that supports veterans, blue light workers, and others to become sports coach practitioners who positively influence the lives of children and young people.

Through sport, mentoring and community engagement, ACCA works with schools, families, and communities to help young people build confidence, resilience and wellbeing while developing positive life skills.

Opportunities exist in areas such as marketing, administration, finance as well as recruiting mentors who can work with children & young people subject to enhanced DBS checks.

If you have skills in any of these areas, why not drop us a line for a chat and find out more details.

Volunteers may assist with promoting our work, supporting organisational administration, helping coordinate activities or contributing professional skills that support ACCA's wider work.
