Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Orkney 2025. We're organising a celebration of sports and island communities, and need your help to make the event a success. This week-long event will see athletes from up to 24 island groups from across the world compete in 13 exciting sports.

The form will take around 10 minutes to complete. There are two ways of volunteering. You can either sign up to some of the generic volunteer roles, or if you have links to a particular sport and they have asked you to volunteer for them, you can sign up directly to help that sport.

Specific Roles include: Marshalls, Fan Zone Team, Spectator Services, Ceremony Support, Drivers, Mascot, Manual Handlers, Event Runner, Welcome Teams, Admin, and more!
