New ASD/Autism Programme Launches SOON

On the back of BUSC being successful in receiving funding (thanks to the support of our members for voting) our new ASD/Autism specific football programme will be launching on Thursday 31 August 2017 here at Albyn Park.  The programme will run for a total of 16 weeks with every Thursday between 5pm-6.30pm.

Back in June Aidan and his colleague Ann Brown from Team United delivered a hugely successful open day at the Albyn on the back of a range of promotions for the new initiative.  This proved to be hugely successful with 75% of the programme being filled on this day alone.  Since then the programme has completely filled up and kids and coaches alike are all extremely excited for the new launch.

On top of this we are delighted to be able to bring in 6 of the clubs young members to take up volunteering roles as buddies to help support those who have signed up for the programme. We hope that this will allow the new intake to integrate more easily in to the club as they move forward in the new initiative.  We will keep you updated with progress of the class as we go forward.

Summer Continues for Alive & Kickin

Although that's the end of the Summer Holidays for our young people, the Summer Programme continues for the Alive & Kickin participants.

This week we look forward to a picnic at the Kelpies, and next week, we hope to head for a Fife Costal Walk, if the weather is kind.

The last few weeks have been a busy time, with a social event on the Maid of the Forth.  Everyone who came along enjoyed the Jazz Cruise and steak supper, along with a light refreshment.  We also went along to enjoy the sun in North Berwick, where our participants along with their families enjoyed Boules, Cricket, Football and Rugby on the Beach.

Next up was a day at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where we took in two shows, Fanti Acrobatics International and The Ping Pong Effect.  Both shows had the spectators on the edge of their seats in awe of the acrobats on show!

Join us every Thursday for an activity.  Contact Leigh on 01506 858057 or email l.lauder@busc.org.uk for further details.

Recycling Point - Boots/Trainers/Football Strips

On the back of our continuing and hugely successful BUSC Bootbox we are now extending the recycling opportunities that BUSC offer to our members.  

Next to the existing Bootbox you will now find a new recycling point where members have the opportunity to drop off old Football Boots, Trainers & old Football Strips.  All of these items will then be used again to support locally with excess items being sent to Rwanda and Congo supporting those less fortunate than ourselves.  We will continue to send this out via our friends at Comfort Rwanda & Congo who Scottish Based charity supporting a number of short, medium and longer term projects in the countries.  More info on the charity can be found at here

Anyone who wishes to drop items off can now do so at their own leisure with the collection points clearly marked as seen below.  

Finally BUSC would like to thank our members again for their support with the wide range of projects that the club are involved in.
