Grassroots football would not be possible without the dedicated volunteers who give up their time each week.

So now it’s time to say a very big thank you.

On 17 December, hundreds of clubs and groups, just like yours, will be linking together with Join In and BBC Get Inspired to say a #BigThankYou to the unsung heroes who give so much back to their communities through volunteering.

The event will begin on pitches and pavilions up and down the land, and sign off following the Get Inspired Unsung Hero Award at BBC Sport Personality of the Year 2017.

How do you get involved?

We’ve created a special #BigThankYou toolkit, just for you. From free #BigThankYou e-postcards to downloadable certificates for your volunteers, you’ll find everything you need to put your club at the heart of the UK’s biggest celebration of sports volunteers.
