Wallace CREW Information

Information about the WaldenJNR Volunteering team, known as the Wallace CREW is set out on this page.

The club is reliant on a the fantastic support of over 80 unpaid volunteers, many of whom are coaches or activators, but there are also many small jobs which are equally important. We are always needing new volunteers to keep the team fresh and provide the succession plan to that the club has a long and prosperous future.
