Scottish FA Club Development Manager, Gavin Tinley, said: “Every year we are inspired by the fantastic stories of the dedicated volunteers who are nominated for the Grassroots Awards.
“The enthusiasm and commitment of this year’s winners is second to none, and we are delighted to recognise their valuable contribution to the grassroots football community in the East region. We would like to thank them for their efforts and wish them the best of luck in the nominations for the national awards.”
