London Seaward is more than just what happens on the pitch. From playing, to coaching, to volunteering, to supporting us financially (every little helps!). There is a role for everyone and we’d love for you to get involved.
Contact us for more information about these posts.
Matchday Volunteers
We are always looking for individuals who are happy helping out on matchdays. This often includes:
- Helping work the tannoy
- Helping the Matchday Manager staff the entry gate
- Assisting with tasks such as matchball retrieval or escorting and meeting referees and opponents
Our matches are generally played at 2pm on a Sunday at Oakside Stadium, just a few minutes walk from Barkingside Tube station.
Matchday volunteers are not expected to attend every game, with some attending as few as two or three home games a year. What matters to us is simply knowing in advance when an individual is available, and that the individual is committed to turning up.
For more information about matchday volunteering, contact matchday@londonseawardfc.com.
