“Can I take this opportunity to thank the volunteers at the club for everything they do to provide a great football experience to individuals in their local community. They are making a direct difference to people in the area through football and are a great example of a Community Club.”

Stowupland Falcons’ Chairman Pete Mayhew said: “We’re delighted the cub's efforts have been recognised, but we're not resting on our laurels. We’ve been able to launch an Ability Saturday Morning Club this season and we have ourselves a target of having teams competing in every single age group for boys and girls as well as launching our first ladies’ team in the next couple of seasons.”

Charter Standard Officer Marcos Toffanello added: “Just as on the pitch, none of this is possible without a team effort. From the managers, coaches and supporters I’m really proud of all of their efforts to deliver a safe, supportive and fun environment for all our players.”
