Support the Adaptive Open 2026

British Weight Lifting is looking for loaders, Technical Officials and volunteers to help support the Adaptive Open on 7 June 2026 at Oldbury Academy.

The Adaptive Open is a groundbreaking competition designed to create a more inclusive platform.

To help deliver a positive competition experience for everyone involved, we’re inviting members of the community to get involved and support the event across a range of roles.

Help make competition happen

Every competition relies on the people behind the platform.

From loaders keeping sessions running smoothly, to Technical Officials ensuring fair competition, to volunteers supporting athletes, coaches and spectators throughout the day — every role plays an important part.

Whether you’re experienced or looking to get involved for the first time, we’d love to hear from you.

Why volunteer?

Supporting competitions is a great opportunity to:

• contribute to the growth of weightlifting and para powerlifting
• gain event experience
• meet others in the community
• develop your knowledge of competition environments
• play a part in delivering an inclusive sporting experience
