Driving force behind Foundation’s Walking Football wins best volunteer award

14 Sep 2025 1 min read No comments WF Scotland

A dedicated Stenhousemuir FC Community Foundation volunteer has been recognised by Scottish football’s governing body for his role in helping organise and run some of the Warriors’ coveted community programmes.

Jim Clark has been named as one of Scottish football’s grassroots heroes after picking up the Best Volunteer in Adult Football prize, presented by McDonald’s and the Sunday Mail, at the 2025 Scottish FA Central Region Grassroots Awards.

The accolade is reward for Clark’s tireless work with the Stenhousemuir FC Community Foundation, where he has become a driving force behind the club’s Walking Football and Men’s Recreational Football sessions at Ochilview Park – where he also picked up his prize.

He has built an environment where camaraderie, friendship and inclusivity are every bit as important as the football itself. Each session finishes with tea, biscuits and a chat – something Clark insists on to make sure the social element is at the heart of the activity.
