These Awards recognise the amazing achievement of our football volunteers, who have completed either 50 or 30 years of volunteering within football! *Eligibility for Long Service Awards For the 50 or 30 Year Awards, the calculation of time spent in football as a volunteer is inclusive of any playing career, but does exclude any football played at school under the age of 16. The FA 50 Years’ Service Award ‘Order of Merit’ The FA 50 Year Awards 'Order of Merit' is formal and absolute recognition by both The FA and Lancashire FA, of work carried out by our fantastic member volunteers over an amazing 50 years. It is so important that The FA and Lancashire FA recognises the incredible dedication and service that our 50 Year Award winners have unselfishly given in the name of our great game of football, often, and unknowingly in many cases, helping to positively shape the lives of others and striving to make the game so fulfilling for us all. We are full of admirations for the work that they have done and continue to do, and we thank our 50 Year Award recipients for keeping the game so great for everyone.
