What an amazing story 🤩❤️⚽️ Grassroots clubs can be an essential part of cost-effective, inclusive & sustainable public health policies. @WHO estimate the cost of physical inactivity will reach over $300billion in 10 years if we don’t take action 👉 https://t.co/s9TLKcqIsJ

🏴 Happy St Andrew’s Day, Scotland! 🤩 After an unforgettable European Qualifiers campaign, Scotland reached their first men’s World Cup in 28 years! 🏆 That same passion will shine at #EURO2028, which Scotland will co-host along with England, Wales and Ireland. @ScotlandNT

Proud moment for our pathway and clubs - great result 👏🏴 Well done @GaryDoctor1, staff, and players 🙌
#SCOW19s | FULL TIME: Scotland 2-1 Netherlands. A well-earned win in #U19WEURO qualifying, with Laura Berry on target from the spot and Neve McDonald’s run and cross forcing a late winner! This qualifying Round closes out against Croatia on Tuesday. #YoungTeam

I’m a rugby bloke. That, though, might just be the biggest domestic Scottish sporting performance certainly of the modern era. Beats the rugby I’ve seen for sheer passion, drive, theatre and spectacle. Well done @ScotlandNT - this is a football country.

Seeing the smiles and excitement from everyone when the players walked in was something special. It’s moments like these that remind us why programmes like ET matter so much, and the power of the game to make memories for a lifetime! - this is what football is all about! 💙🏴⚽️

Watch our film about the legend that is Gus, and Symington Tinto, on why places to play matter for our communities. We need everyone’s help to turn that vision into reality. At the end of the day we’re all just here “haudin the jaikets’ for the next generation! ❤️🏴⚽️
🗣️ "The funding has been an absolute game-changer." In 58 years at Symington Tinto, Gus MacKay, has seen it all. Now, thanks to funding provided by our Pitching In initiative, the number of players using the community club’s pitch has grown five-fold.

Thank you to all clubs delivering our fantastic program to allow women to have the tools, knowledge &confidence to embrace and celebrate “the second half.” ❤ #worldmenopauseday #menopause
On World Menopause Day, we're reflecting on the progress of our Menopause Goals delivery across community clubs. Since the pilot, the programme has grown to reach more women, particularly in areas of high deprivation, and provide them with the tools to embrace 'the second half'.
