Grassroots Football Awards
NOMINATE A VOLUNTEER FOR A GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL AWARD TODAY
NOMINATE HERE FROM 28 FEBRUARY
YOUR THANKS MEANS THE WORLD
It’s time for you to say thanks for everything volunteers across Oxfordshire do to make football happen.
We’re asking you to nominate the volunteers, coaches, clubs, leagues, officials and anyone else you think deserves a Grassroots Football Award.
Don’t miss out on the power of a thank you. Nominations are live from 28th February – midnight on 6th April.
The winners will then be carefully selected and invited to our Grassroots Football Awards ceremony later this year, and then put forward to be in with a chance of being awarded at a national level, where another glittering award ceremony awaits.
The national awards ceremony will be held at Wembley Stadium on 10 August ahead of the Community Shield Final.
HOW TO NOMINATE
You can nominate as many times as you like, in as many categories as you like. This year, it’s easier than ever with a new shorter form. Simply let us know:
- What they do, and how it impresses you
- How they make a difference to others’ lives
- Where they’ve had an impact in their community
- If they’ve overcome obstacles or created new opportunities
The more detail you give, the better. Also, when thinking about your outstanding volunteers, think about nominating in all the Award categories.
NOMINATE HERE FROM 28 FEBRUARY
Every time you nominate a volunteer, club, league or match official we’ll let them know they’re up for an award – and give them the chance to nominate another volunteer too!
