The Football Workforce is an important programme from The FA which recognises the value of volunteers to the development of football at every level of the game.
The Football Workforce will help you to.
• Recruit more volunteers
• Retain volunteers within the sport and help them to work smarter, not harder
• Recognise and reward the work of volunteers
The Football Workforce is for everybody working within football whether paid or voluntary. The Football Workforce focuses on volunteers at grass roots levels.
It is an evolving programme of information, ideas, packages and products that can help to provide some practical solutions to everyday volunteering problems. It can be used by club secretaries, team managers, mini football organisers, league organisers, in fact anybody who works alongside volunteers in football.
Whether you're running a one-team club or administering a large league, volunteering problems are very similar but on different scales! The Football Workforce suggests ideas that can be adapted to the smallest or largest club or league.
You can use the Football Workforce as:
• As a checklist for good practice; how well does your club or league rate?
• To find solutions to problems
• To generate new ideas, new approaches
• To share good practice
• To access information and resources which you can adapt for use in your own club,
league or county association
