Volunteer Recognition Programme: Volunteer Area on Match Days
Details on how volunteers can register for the volunteer area at the Autumn Internationals have been shared in the Community Game Update.
As a reminder volunteers who already have match tickets to an England match at Allianz Stadium can register for up to four spots in the volunteer area pre-match, which is situated outside in the British Airways Fan Village, where volunteers can enjoy pizza, drinks, and catch up with other volunteers before the match. There is a limited number of places available for this.
Club Secretaries will have more details.
