Volunteer opportunities in your BMC Area

Posted by Suzanne Jones on 11/10/2023

Would you like to get more involved in the work of the BMC? We have a number of Area volunteer roles available, and are looking for enthusiastic members to take them on.

Area volunteers undertake vital roles in the democratic structure of the BMC and the work we do on behalf of members and the wider climbing, hill walking and mountaineering community. Each of the ten BMC Areas (eight in England, two in Wales) holds an Area AGM, at which elections for a range of volunteer roles are held, and outside of these meetings, members can be co-opted into roles.

If you are interested in getting involved please email suzanne@thebmc.co.uk and ask to be put in contact with your local area Chair.
