It’s hard to believe that we have now reached the mid-point in our funding season – I hope you will enjoy reading our latest publication which showcases some of the projects and initiatives that we have supported across the country in the last six months. In this short period, I am pleased to report that The Scottish Football Partnership and SFP Trust has processed a combined total of 109 GRANT AWARDS which has seen an investment of just over £1.158M in football at EVERY LEVEL in Scotland. None of this would be possible without the fantastic financial support we receive from The Scottish FA whose funds we put to good use in improving club facilities and infrastructure within both the professional and non-professional ends of the game. Our business and third sector funding partners (highlighted opposite) are also deserving of a special mention for their vision in supporting the much needed work we do through our Charitable Trust which is now in its fifth year of operation. These organisations are absolutely vital to our work at grassroots level and some of our success stories are contained in the pages which follow, including an update on our dynamic GoFitba project which we will be expanding further in 2019.

Looking ahead to next year there is a real air of optimism about our game both domestically and on the International stage with our men’s National team recently topping their group in the inaugural UEFA Nations League, guaranteeing them a play-off spot should they require it at the end of the traditional Euro 2020 qualification campaign which kicks-off in March. The Women’s National team have made it two in a row in terms of qualification for major finals and I am sure the whole country will get behind the players in the build up to their first ever FIFA Women’s World Cup Finals. We are delighted to be playing a small part in helping Shelley Kerr and her team prepare for this tournament in conjunction with the Scottish Government. Our feature on the team’s route to the finals is on page 11 and we wish the squad well ahead of their opening Group D match against England in Nice on Sunday, 9th June, 2019.

Our National teams’ qualification for major tournaments and the prospect of seeing Hampden Park not only hosting Euro 2020 group stage matches but also featuring Scotland can only help to inspire the next generation of boys and girls to take up and fall in love with the beautiful game for life. Why is this important? I recently read an insightful report carried out by UEFA which measured the value of football participation in Scotland. The report, which was co-ordinated by Danny Bisland, Scottish FA Project Manager – Community Football Clubs, used the UEFA GROW Social Return on Investment model to highlight that the 780,000 people who regularly play football in Scotland has a value of £1.25bn to the country’s economy in key areas such as health and wellbeing. This report really brings to life just how important football is to the very fabric of Scottish society and as a partner organisation within the football family we are committed to playing our part in helping the game to grow and develop at every level in the years ahead.

Best wishes for a successful start to 2019 and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

NEW STADIUM PITCH AT TYNECASTLE

Supporting Elite Stadium Improvements

“The Club was extremely grateful to have, once again, received financial support from The Scottish Football Partnership (SFP) in connection with our Tynecastle Redevelopment Project. On this occasion, we were awarded a contribution to assist with our pitch redevelopment; the first at Tynecastle in 20 years. Our new hybrid pitch is state of the art, complete with computerised monitoring, irrigation and undersoil heating systems. Craig and the team are delighted with the new surface, which is one of the very best in Scotland and the Club thanks The SFP most sincerely for their support.”

“We’d like to thank The Scottish Football Partnership for their contribution towards the new 3G pitch at the St Mirren Youth Academy. Our Youth Academy has a proud track record of bringing through players who have gone on to play in the Champions League and at international level for Scotland. Hopefully with the new facilities we can continue to develop the next crop of young talent.”

NEW 3G SURFACE AT ST. MIRREN’S RALSTON TRAINING GROUND

Earlier in the year, approaches were made by both St. Mirren F.C. and Hibernian

F.C. to seek funding to support the replacement of the 3G surfaces at their

respective training grounds at Ralston and Ormiston. As part of Scottish FA

Club Licensing and the Elite Club Academy system, there is a requirement for

clubs to have FIFA Quality Pro surfaces for their first team and youth academy

training activity. The existing training surfaces at these clubs were over ten years

old and had to be replaced to meet the required standard for clubs competing at

the top level in Scottish football and the SFP were delighted to award funding

to assist with both projects.

“Hibernian are delighted with the support provided by The Scottish Football Partnership for our new 3G surface at the Hibernian Training Centre. Our facility is in use morning, noon and night with the first team and academy, both male and female, and the importance of a good surface can’t be understated.”

George Craig, Head of Football Operations, Hibernian F.C.

Thanks to the support of The Scottish Football Partnership, Alloa Athletic recently completed the upgrading of the mains power supply serving the Indodrill Stadium. For a number of years, the Club faced a dilemma during the colder winter months due to limitations on the amount of power available. This was due to the restrictions on both the local power supply infrastructure and the wiring capacity serving the stadium. The situation was so marginal that the Club had to switch off all heating in the main Club building during games in order to prioritise the power supply to the floodlighting. In order to draw more power, a significantly larger supply cable had to be laid to allow the new supply to be connected to the current distribution network. The completed project will now mean that the power available will easily meet current and any foreseeable future demand to ensure no interruption to games and to ensure the health and safety, comfort and experience of those attending.

“This project shows the value of capital investment funding to the Scottish game. High profile projects often attract lots of publicity but investment in the unseen infrastructure is just as important. I look forward to increased availability of funding in the years to come, targeted and delivered for maximum positive benefit to all clubs and the communities they serve.”

“This fencing has really transformed Castle Cary Park and it now feels like a proper football ground. After building our new changing rooms a few years ago, we agreed to move forward and take steps to enclose our ground. We are delighted to have been able to complete the project and are most grateful to the SFP for this award”

Ben Herries, Creetown F.C.

“We are delighted with this new covered area which has really enhanced the facilities at Prestonfield, and one which will greatly benefit our disabled supporters. We are most grateful to the SFP for their assistance – this Club Licensing project wouldn’t have been possible for a club of our size without their support.”

Jon Mahoney, Linlithgow Rose F.C.

“The club invested a fairly large sum of money this year on the installation of a new seated stand at New Central Park.

It’s great to have the SFP Trust backing our project and support the work we do in our local community.

SFP GRANT SUPPORTS POWERCHAIR FOOTBALLClyde Powerchair F.C. receive a storage container to help support their weekly powerchair football activities.

“The container from The SFP has been a great help and we use it at our weekly sessions. We have our two equipment storage containers plus speed testing ramp/rollers for the chairs. As the most central club in Powerchair in Scotland, we have league goals (stands and poles) kept in the container too which is a big help to the league. We will be looking to store the club chairs here too when we get them back from parents houses. Already we have a new player who would benefit from having access to a club chair which is great”

Craig Peattie, Head Coach

GAME ON AT CROSSHOUSEIt’s great to see our support for Crosshouse Community F.C. making

such a difference to football being played. The club who have taken

ownership of the clubhouse and football pitches at Lindsay Park on

an asset transfer from East Ayrshire Council approached the SFP

Trust in April of this year to ask for support in improving the drainage

on their 11 v 11 pitch. Only 2 matches had been played on the

pitch since September 2017 and the investment in a new localised

drainage system supported by the SFP Trust has meant games have

been played this year.

Charlene McClelland from the club said “The photograph shows our 2004 team playing against Ayr Boswell 2004 in a recent match. We had a tonne of rain in the week leading up to this match, but remarkably all our games were able to go ahead as planned. The pitch improvement works have clearly fixed the drainage problems as this time last year, it wouldn’t have been possible to host any games as our pitches would have been completely waterlogged. On behalf of everyone at Crosshouse Community Football Club, we can’t thank The Scottish Football Partnership Trust enough for its help in covering the cost of this vital drainage work”.

NEW CHANGING FACILITIES FOR SYNGENTA JUVENILES F.C.Syngenta Juveniles F.C., a Scottish FA Legacy Level Quality Mark club, were keen to discuss possible funding for additional changing rooms and welfare facilities at Little Kerse in Grangemouth with the SFP Trust. The club which has a growing membership of over 350 players was finding it increasingly difficult, due to the limited on-site changing provision, to accommodate all of their players and coaches and to fully utilise the fantastic playing facilities at their disposal. Little Kerse, which has recently undergone its very own revamp now includes two brand new 3G surfaces as well as five natural grass pitches.

Dave Buglass, Executive Committee Member at Syngenta said, “In trying to find a solution to our deficiency in changing facilities we researched The Scottish Football Partnership’s very successful containerised changing room project and followed this model to help provide vital supporting infrastructure for our current teams and to give us opportunities to increase our football activities going forward. The grant of £5,000 from The SFP Trust was vital in part-funding the purchase of 4 new changing rooms, a toilet block and also to offset the cost of installation. We are very grateful to the SFP Trust for supporting the club with this project and our ambitions to continue to grow and develop football at grassroots level.

This community youth football club offers football to local youngsters over four age-groups, from their newly formed Under-13 team to an Under-20 side.

Donald Matheson, Club Chairman had this to say about the award “Nairn County F.C. Youths currently operate teams at Under-13, Under-15, Under-17 and Under-20 levels, with our players training three times a week. The new portable floodlights will allow the players across all age-groups to increase their activities and train on grass throughout the dark winter months. This will allow the teams further opportunities to develop and enhance their skills. We are indebted to The SFP Trust and The Crerar Trust for this generous donation which will transform our training evenings and help remove some of the financial burden on our club.”

Supporting #grassroots

NAIRN COUNTY F.C. YOUTHS FORRES MECHANICS F.C. YOUTHS

The Scottish Football Partnership Trust and The Crerar Trust have teamed up to support the provision of new portable floodlights for two grassroots community football clubs in the North of Scotland. Each club received a set of eight portable floodlights from funding kindly donated by The SFP Trust and The Crerar Trust. Nairn County F.C. Youths and Forres Mechanics F.C. Youths, Scottish F.A. Quality Mark accredited clubs, were fortunate to be the two clubs selected. The dedication of the clubs’ coaches allows all players to enjoy the game in a positive, safe and friendly environment. This type of initiative is key to the development of football in Scotland as the new floodlights will help both clubs enhance their ability to provide training activity throughout the winter months.

This community youth football club offers football to over 60 players

from Under-13 level through to Under-17 level.

Dave McCartney, Club Spokesman commented on the award “Forres Mechanics F.C. Youths currently have over 60 boys who train three times a week. We have plans to introduce a girls’ team very shortly and have a female coach who is due to undertake her 1.2 coaching qualification. Forres is unique in Moray. Of all the centres of population, not only does our town of 12,000 people not have an all-weather floodlit pitch, it does not even have a floodlit grass area for training. As a result of this, from October to March every year during the months of darkness, our players and their coaches are forced to undertake a 20+ mile round trip to Elgin or Nairn where we are able to hire facilities. This obviously comes at a cost, both for the club and for the parents who provide transport for the players and we are therefore most grateful to The SFP Trust and The Crerar Trust for this generous award.”

£80,000 Support for Scotland’s Women’s National Team

FIFA World Cup Draw

The Scottish Football Partnership, via The Scottish Government, will provide funding of around £80,000 to allow

Scotland’s Women’s National Team to train and prepare for the 2019 FIFA World Cup. The financial support

will allow those players in Shelley Kerr’s national squad who are currently not full-time professionals to train

full-time from January 2019 ahead of the tournament in France. Congratulations are due to the team on their

fantastic qualification for this, their first World Cup following a dramatic night in Shkodër, Albania in September

when the players ran out 2-1 winners after goals from Kim Little and Jane Ross. Along with Scotland, another

three nations – Chile, Jamaica and South Africa, will make their Women’s World Cup debut in 2019, with the

competition being played from 7th June to 7th July in nine host cities across France with the Semis and Final

taking place at the Stade de Lyon in the south east of the country.

The squad recently took part in their first home fixture since qualifying and put up a spirited performance against

World Champions USA earlier in November in front of a 3,790 crowd in Paisley which saw Scotland narrowly

defeated by one goal.

Head Coach, Shelley Kerr said: “It was an incredible achievement to qualify for our first ever FIFA World Cup. It was a special feeling but now it’s incredibly important we focus on the future. We are determined to start the tournament in the best possible shape and are delighted to have the support of the Scottish Government through The Scottish Football Partnership. We are in a fortunate position where a number of our players are already playing football full-time and this agreement allows all of our squad to be at their optimal best when the tournament comes around.”

First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon said: “I’m proud to be patron of the Scotland Women’s National Team and this funding will allow all members of the squad to train full-time from January 2019 through to the World Cup in the summer. This is aimed at giving Shelley and her squad the best chance of success in the finals. We want to increase participation of women and girls in sport and I hope the success of the women’s team inspires more women and girls to get involved in sport, from grassroots activity to elite level.”

More excitement was to follow when the draw was announced on 8th December, 2018 – Scotland will kick-off their participation in Group D with a match against England on Sunday, 9th June in Nice before meeting Japan in Rennes on 14th June and then Argentina on 19th June in the Parc des Princes in Paris.

We have plans in place to expand the project in 2019 and have funds already pledged from the following organisations and are actively seeking additional partners to extend the project’s reach across Scotland.

Such is the success of the programme that another seven clubs have engaged in the delivery of GoFitba – a total of 19 clubs positively impacting on the lives of Scotland’s disadvantaged schoolchildren. Some of these clubs have self-funded the project, with others receiving funding from The SFP Trust, The Clydesdale Bank and Bernard Hunter Crane Hire.

“It was great to visit the GoFitba project with my colleague from school over the summer. I was very impressed by the venue, standard of coaching and excellent food provided to the children. Having spoken to my pupils it’s clear that they have had a fantastic experience and are being challenged to adopt a healthier lifestyle. This is fantastic as it reinforces the curriculum work we undertake throughout the year. Thanks so much for providing this opportunity to the children who I know really benefitted from the experience”

Leslie Kirkland, Assistant Head Teacher, Annette Street Primary School.

"The Summer GoFitba project targeted children who would otherwise have been unable to afford such an experience. The children were very active whilst they were with us and they learned the necessary skills to help them lead a healthier lifestyle. The hot meal served each day was greatly appreciated by the children and their parents and guardians but perhaps more importantly the positive atmosphere we were able to nurture helped to develop new friendships and improvements in attitudes and behaviour towards each other”.

Simon Farrelly, Jimmy Johnstone Charitable Trust.

“Our thanks go to The Scottish Football Partnership Trust for this award which allowed our club to support First Aid training for nine of our volunteer coaches. Your support is greatly appreciated by all at the club.”

Ian Higgins, Bonnyton Thistle F.C.

“This Club Development Grant has allowed our club to grow our girls’ section from just one team to hopefully four in 2019. The girls are having great fun coming along on a Wednesday and working with our club’s community coach. Many thanks again to The SFP Trust for this award which will help towards the purchase of kit and equipment for our new girls teams.”

“This Club Development Grant has allowed Lossiemouth F.C. Youth Development to expand our player base and coaching set-up to include another 25 footballers at the Under-13 age group and an additional three coaches. We were able to purchase much needed training equipment and new strips, all of which would not have been possible without the support of the SFP Trust.”

Steve Williams, Lossiemouth F.C. Youth Development

“Awards like these are vital for clubs as it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract sponsorship. This award will give our new Under-17 girls’ team a really good start to the season, both in playing equipment and coaching aids and courses and we are all grateful to the SFP Trust for this funding .”

Billy Hassan, Gleniffer Thistle F.C.

“This grant has allowed us to support the start-up costs of the Little Dribblers class for 2 to 3 year-olds and the Mini- Kickers for 4 to 5 year-olds with the purchase of new footballs, cones and equipment to enhance the training and full drills. This award will allow our fantastic grassroots club to continue to grow and enhance girls’ and boys’ football in our local area”.

Arlene McCafferty, Steins Thistle F.C.

“Firstly, can I thank The SFP Trust for this opportunity to progress my coaching development journey. Placing a focus on youth development is huge to the Academy and its players and coaches alike. This grant now makes the next step in my coaching education and undertaking the UEFA B Licence Course a reality and I’m looking forward to building upon my current coaching qualifications and coaching knowledge to help take the Academy forward to benefit Gartcairn Football Academy and the local community.” Gerry Cummings, Coach, Gartcairn FA

A word from the clubs...Our Club Development Grant initiative was introduced to support Scottish FA Quality Mark clubs to grow and

develop in 2018. A total of 54 clubs each received a grant of £500 which saw an incredible overall investment

of £27,000 in grassroots football thanks to our partnership with The Kilpatrick Fraser Charitable Trust and the Clydesdale Bank. This initiative, which was strategically delivered in conjunction with the Scottish FA’s Regional Development staff, was designed to assist community football clubs in three specific areas and to help reduce the financial burden on parents, players and coaches. Many of the clubs opted to utilise their grant award across all three target areas.

TARGET AREAS1. INCREASING PARTICIPATION2. IMPROVING, ENHANCING AND SUSTAINING ACTIVITY3. SUPPORTING COACH EDUCATION

INCREASING PARTICIPATION

• 482 new players introduced to the game

• 19 new grassroots teams creating activity for girls’ football

• 8 new grassroots teams creating activity for boys’ football

• 1 new grassroots team created for para football

IMPROVING, ENHANCING AND SUSTAINING ACTIVITY

• 1,605 players positively impacted in this area

• 20 clubs purchased new kit and equipment, including floodlights

• 10 clubs sent volunteer coaches on First Aid training courses

SUPPORTING COACH EDUCATION

• 3,381 players positively impacted in this area

• 27 clubs contributed funding towards coach education

• 100 coaches supported through coach education courses

• 1 coach obtained his UEFA B Licence

• 9 coaches obtained their UEFA C Licence

“The Scottish FA West Region would like to thank The SFP Trust for their continued support of grassroots football via their Club Development Grant scheme. This funding has allowed clubs to create new sections, particularly focusing on girls’ football, whilst others have used their grant to upskill their coaches, building confidence and allowing better quality training sessions to be delivered. One club applied for equipment to help with Speed, Agility and Fitness sessions and this has been used by numerous age-groups in both the male and female pathways at the club. Without support like this, grassroots clubs would struggle to financially support new projects and we can’t under-estimate the value that these grants have had on our clubs and their communities.”

Corrie Campbell, Club Development Manager, Scottish FA West Region
