Challenge Wales employs a part time administrator, a part time youth worker and a business development manager to run the office. This includes managing bookings, marketing, PR, administration including managing bursary funding, funding bids, research, volunteer crew recruitment activity and presentations as well as running an outreach programme throughout Wales. To enable the charity to work more effectively shore-side volunteers provide essential support and we wouldn’t be able to offer as many activities as we do without them.
If you are wanting to get involved with fundraising for Challenge Wales you don’t need to be a volunteer to do that however, if you are wanting to take a more proactive part in fundraising as part of the Charity’s strategy and you have time to spend then volunteering might be a great opportunity for you. This could include being part of our fundraising committee!
Shore-side volunteers need to be able to use their own initiative and with support from the office be able to start and finish a project.
If you would like to volunteer then please complete a Volunteer Form.

- Vlogging, journalism and/or content development
- Social media (across several platforms) and blogging
- E-Commerce (to help manage and run our online shop)
- Fundraising
- Ocean literacy & STEM subjects
