GMA

Ongoing support

We work with our ECB County Pitch Advisors, Martin Deans (North Lincs) and Alex Ashwin (South Lincs), and the Grounds Management Association (GMA) to provide Lincolnshire’s grounds staff and volunteers with a package of support.

We host webinars and face-to-face workshops semi-regularly to support our grounds volunteer network. Details are posted in the section below when available.
