We are delighted to be nominated for the FA Women's Participation Award and for our Girls Talent Pathway to be recognised nationally. We work extremely hard to give everyone access to football and sport, with an emphasis on fun and personal achievement before talent.
Helen Byrne, Foundation of Light Premier League Primary Stars Events CoordinatorThe annual awards ceremony will take place on the evening of Friday 1st June, at The Brewery, London, and for the 20th year will celebrate the very best of women’s football, from grassroots through to international level. The winner of the ‘Best Participation Initiative’ will represent the values of The FA's strategy for women's and girls' football, which aims to double participation by 2020. The award celebrates initiatives that encourage girls to believe that football is a sport for them as well as recognise the success of grassroots football development programmes that have inspired women and girls to play.
