As National Volunteers’ Week gets underway across the country (2nd to 8th June), Gloucestershire FA is proud to recognise the incredible efforts of the volunteers who power grassroots football throughout the county.  

From club secretaries and coaches to referees, welfare officers and committee members, volunteers are the heartbeat of our game. Their dedication ensures that thousands of people across Gloucestershire can enjoy safe, inclusive and well-organised football every week. 

To celebrate the week, Gloucestershire FA will be running workshops designed to support and inspire both current and prospective volunteers.

Volunteering in football offers people the chance to develop new skills, build confidence, and be part of something bigger. Whether it’s organising fixtures, washing kit, or creating a great clubhouse atmosphere, every role matters. 

If you’d like to get involved in volunteering within football in Gloucestershire, visit our Volunteering Hub to see available roles.
