Gloucestershire FA - developing football for everyone

Volunteers

A football club is about far more than the players on the pitch. The FA is committed to supporting the volunteers in club football that make up the backbone of grassroots football.

The FA recognises the value of volunteers and provides guides to clubs on how to recruit, retain and reward volunteers. The Football Workforce is an important programme from The Football Association, which recognises the value of volunteers to the development of football at every level of the game. The Football Workforce is a programme that aims to:

“Build a skilled, well supported volunteer workforce, who enjoy undertaking clearly defined roles and responsibilities and whose work is recognised and valued throughout the organisation and beyond.”

The Football Workforce will help you to:

  • Recruit more volunteers into football
  • Retain volunteers within the sport and help them to work smarter, not harder
  • Recognise and reward the work of all volunteers
