Nominations Open For Grassroots Football Awards 2025
It’s time for everyone across Lincolnshire to say thanks for everything volunteers 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. It’s quick and easy to nominate and, to our amazing volunteers, your thanks will mean the world.
The winners will then be carefully selected and invited to our glittering Awards Presentation Ceremony. This will be held at Belton Woods Hotel, Gonerby Grange Ln, Belton, Grantham, NG32 2LN.
Be Inspired
Last year's 'Club of the Year' winners, Spalding United, enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime experience at our awards. Hear the story behind the winners.
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.

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.
