Angy King is up for a Berkshire Football Award in the category of Clive McNelly Volunteer of the Season sponsored by Supporters Trust at Reading.
One nomination for the award said: “Angy King has been the sports chaplain for Reading FC Women and the girls’ pathway for nine seasons now, she also coordinates all the other chaplains nationally across women’s football. On a weekly basis, Angy gives up her time on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening to attend training for all age groups (U10 to Women’s First Team) and Sundays to attend the women’s matches. She offers pastoral support for all players, staff and parents, helping individuals deal with injury, bereavement, family breakdown etc. She is an absolute diamond and we would love her to be recognised for all the amazing work she has done!”
Another added: “We are nominating Angy for Volunteer of the Year because she is, without a doubt, the heart of our club. She gives everything she has to us—her time, her energy, her support, and her love—without ever asking for anything in return. Angy is at every training session and every game, no matter the distance or conditions, and always goes the extra mile to make sure every single person feels cared for and valued. She’s more than a volunteer—she’s a mentor, a role model, and a constant source of positivity and strength. Her dedication over the years has helped shape the spirit of our club and brought countless people together. Simply put, we would not be where we are without her. She is one of a kind, and this award would be a small but deeply meaningful way to recognise the incredible impact she has made on all of us. Angy deserves this—she is the very best of what football, and community, should be.”
