Paid and unpaid staff in sport organisations are equally important for the future of the European model of sport. Sport employs millions of European citizens and add billions in revenue. It contributes to chronic disease prevention and increases the quality of life of citizens and their ability to remain healthy and productive workers who may keep contributing to the European economy as the nation gets older. Volunteering also contributes to community cohesion, social inclusion and an enhanced sense of European identity. Volunteers in sport are essential to the European model of sport.
