Help Keep Your Pitch Clean & Tidy

Please note that over the past few months we have seen an increase in litter left lying about the pitch and would like to take the opportunity to remind all players, parents & coaches to ensure that litter is put away in the bins and in particular water bottles after football training. 

There has also been a sharp increase in chewing gum on the pitch and would ask everyone to take note of this as this can damage the pitch long term.

This is YOUR facility and we want it to be as clean and tidy as possible.  Whilst the staff & volunteers strive to keep this as clean as possible we would ask that everyone pulls in the same direction on this one to ensure not only a clean and safe pitch to play on but also that the facility continues to be regarded as one of the best in the region.

Thank you for your support with this matter.

Lets Get It Right for Autism - WL Council Funding

We are delighted to have got through phase one of West Lothians 'Lets Get it Right for Autism Fund' and in to the final selection process as we look to establish a new disability section within the club.  Having previously ran the PAN disability centre and reviewing the differences/impact that the programme made we decided to move away from this delivery model and focus on a disability specific delivery. 

Along with our delivery partner (Team United) who have been helping to develop the framework we are hopeful that we will be successful in gaining funding to develop phase 1 of the programme.  The key areas being around not only delivery but having a social hub in place so that kids can begin to integrate in to the club, a games programme plus other elements to make it a more suitable to the child's needs.

On Saturday 25 March Aidan will be presenting to West Lothian Council on this alongside all the other applicants (which will all be filmed) and thereafter the voting process will be opening.  We will keep members informed of this as the process happens but would be greatful if our membership can get behind the bid when it officially opens for voting.  This is phase 1 of what we hope will be the beginning of a new and exciting chapter within disability delivery at the club.  Failure to access the funding will mean identifying a new fund to help lift this off the ground.

In the meantime please see attached some documentation confirming who will be presenting on the day and more information around their projects.
