This three-year deal will focus on promoting wellbeing throughout Perth and we've been working closely with the club to bring to life a series of activities and events, from healthy eating to promoting active lifestyles.
Launch day
Our alliance is going down particularly well at our office in Perth. They got into the Christmas spirit by hosting a Fayre with General Manager Dave Ryan and Club Ambassador Roddy Grant. Plenty of discounted merchandise will be finding its way into Saints fans’ Christmas stockings!
We’ve got plenty more in the pipeline, including a Walking Football event for over 50s and more work to support our healthy eating campaign, so watch this space...
We've been supporting local community groups:
A Football Memories themed quiz for people with impaired memory.
Supporting Independent Living in the Community’s work with elderly people in sheltered accommodation.
Multisports classes for adults with learning difficulties, with the club’s Danny Griffin.
Mentoring at local schools with player Murray Davidson.
Working with Gillian McFarlane, Nutrition Dietetics at Kings Cross Hospital.
Supporting recipe cards to help combat childhood obesity, displayed in local Tesco and Morrisons stores.
Sponsoring a table at a local carer group’s tea dance.
