Stephen Metcalfe, MP for South Basildon & East Thurrock, volunteered at Bowers and Pitsea FC on Saturday 22nd October as part of Entain’s “Pitching In” Programme.
Entain, a sports-betting group, launched the innovative “Pitching In” Volunteer Hub earlier this year. The Volunteer Hub is partnered with the Trident Leagues and enables clubs, such as Bowers and Pitsea FC, to post volunteering vacancies, while fans can search for available opportunities either at a specific club or based on their location.
Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring local clubs continue to thrive. It is no different at Bowers and Pitsea FC. The club is currently looking for a volunteer photographer, a volunteer turnstile operator, match day stewards, and some volunteers to assist with stadium maintenance during the off-season.

Last Saturday, Stephen visited Bowers and Pitsea FC to hear about the volunteering opportunities available and then got stuck in by volunteering on the turnstiles.
Stephen Metcalfe said: “A big thank you to Bowers and Pitsea FC for having me on Saturday. It was great to pitch in and help the club operate the turnstiles during a busy match day.
The club are currently recruiting match day volunteers via the Pitching In Volunteer Hub. Volunteers are at the heart of non-league sport and Bowers and Pitsea FC rely on local people to enable them to run the brilliant community events they do.
If you’d like to help the club by volunteering your spare time, make sure you get in touch on the Pitching In website.”
