Volunteer at Orkney 2025

Our volunteers are central to the smooth running of Orkney 2025. The Games-time Volunteer Programme will open in early 2024. If you'd like to register your interest now, please do so with the sign-up form and we'll make sure we get in touch when the Programme opens. This doesn't commit you to volunteering or to any particular area, it just helps us understand the current level of interest. Thank you.
