Supporting thousands of Games volunteers
Allwyn backs the volunteering programme through its Social Value Fund, an annual £1 million fund that Allwyn finances to support initiatives as part of its commitment to operate The National Lottery in an environmentally and socially responsible way.
For Glasgow 2026, Allwyn’s investment gives all volunteers access to an exceptional online learning portal and in-person training. The programme equips volunteers for roles across event and venue support, transport, media services, content creation, athlete support, and ceremonies activity, ensuring every volunteer is ready to help deliver a world-class festival of sport and culture.
As part of its commitment to creating lasting social value, Allwyn is enabling colleagues to join the Glasgow 2026 volunteering team. This initiative ensures Allwyn’s commitment to volunteering translates into tangible on-the-ground impact and supports the smooth delivery of the Games for athletes, spectators and communities across Scotland.
Post‑event evaluation will also be carried out to measure the programme’s impact and ensure the benefits of volunteering continue long after the final medal of the Games is won.
