#KeepShining
With our sponsor, Charlton Baker, we want to reward the remarkable contribution football volunteers in Wiltshire. Without the time, dedication and commitment volunteers demonstrate in football clubs and leagues, grassroots football would simply not exist.
Alongside the England Football Awards, the Wiltshire FA & Charlton Baker Grassroots Football Excellence Awards 2024 will introduce additional awards to recognise and thank more clubs, leagues, volunteers and projects that are making a difference in grassroots football in Wiltshire with a big celebration event in June.
The categories include, Making A Difference, Ability Counts Excellence, Outstanding Personal Achievement, Inclusive Football, Progression Award, Wildcats Centre of the Year, Healthy, Safe and Sustainable Clubs, Coach of the Year, Club of the Year, League of the Year, Volunteer of the Year, Grounds Team of the Year, Match Official of the Year, Lioness Award and Positive Environment Award!
