to the December 2018 edition
of Keepie Uppie magazine.

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 OUR HALF-

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 TIME RESULTS
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

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.

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
