PLAY SAFE WEEKEND
On Friday 13th September Shropshire FA held their annual Grassroots Awards Evening. This evening is held so we can give back to the people who go above and beyond for grassroots football in the county. It’s a prestigious event where everyone comes together to support football in the community no matter who you are.
We as a county couldn't do grassroots football with out people like yourselves who give up their time weekly to coach, spectate, referee or do welfare checks. So as an FA we really enjoy putting on this event to give back to those who really make a difference in football.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our sponsors and directors who sponsored the awards and thank you to those who presented the awards.

PARTNERSHIP
WITH BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION TO HELP FUND LIFESAVING RESEARCH!
“With heart and circulatory diseases killing one in four people in the UK, it’s inspiring to know that our fundraising could make a real impact for such an important cause.”
Zoe Roberts, Fundraising Manager for Black Country, Shropshire and Staffordshire at the British Heart Foundation (BHF) said: “We are honoured that Shropshire FA have chosen to support the British Heart Foundation and help fund the scientific breakthroughs of tomorrow.
“For more than 60 years, the British Heart Foundation has funded research that has turned ideas that once seemed like 'science fiction' into treatments and cures that save lives every day But millions of people are still waiting for the next breakthrough
“It is only thanks to the generous support of organisations like Shropshire FA that we can keep research going and discover the treatments and cures of the future.”
