Grassroots Football Excellence Awards
To recognise those making a difference
WELCOME TO season 21/22 GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL AWARDS
#KeepShining
Along 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 FA and McDonalds Awards, the Wiltshire FA & Charlton Baker Grassroots Football Excellence Awards 2022 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.

#GrassrootsHeroes
The England Football and McDonald’s Grassroots Football Awards are to recognise and celebrate the people who put their heart and soul into the grassroots game across England, and to say a huge thank you to the incredible volunteers who inspire us all.
So, what does it take to win a Grassroots Football Award? You tell us because it’s down to you to tell us the people who deserve to win by nominating them. The closing date for nomination is 16 May 2022.
The Awards are split into ten categories. You nominate the people you think deserve national recognition.
The winners will be people who have really made a difference and can demonstrate how they make their positive impact happen. They behave with fairness and integrity, they create fun, safe and inclusive environments for everyone. They encourage the very best, both in themselves and in everybody around them. They have risen to overcome challenges and they make a truly positive impact in their community.
