SHCFA Business Strategy 2021-24 Progress Report
The Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA business strategy outlines our aims and objectives for grassroots football in the Sheffield & Hallamshire region between 2021 – 2024.
In this report, we provide an update on the Sheffield & Hallamshire County FA’s progress in implementing our business strategy as of January 2023.
With a vision to ‘change lives through football’, our main goal is to encourage more people to become active through football. This aligns with The FA’s vision to “harness the power of football to unite communities and improve the health of the nation”.
To achieve this, our strategy is focused around three key themes: people, places and pathways.
