Following a month of prestigious celebrations at the Grammy’s and BAFTA’s, we were delighted to support a ceremony that really matters – the Scottish Sports Futures Annual Awards.

This charity goes the extra mile, using physical activity to engage with disadvantaged young people and they continue to make incredible changes to the lives of Scotland’s youth through sport.

The emotional stories told by the young people at the heart of the organisation are a testament to the selfless work of all involved in SSF.

An uplifting night, and now we’re back in the office cracking on with their plans for the coming year.

We’re delighted to sponsor the Social Impact award, recognising the positive impact that an organisation has had on a community, which will be presented at the Scottish Sports Futures (SSF) conference later this month🏆

Congratulations to the finalists, Basketball Scotland, Govan Youth Information Project, Kingdom Offroad Motorcycle Club and Possibilities for Each and Every Kid 👏

We can’t wait to see the winner announced at the ceremony, held at the Radisson Blue Hotel on Friday the 24th of February 🥳🎉

It might be a tiny gesture but collecting glucose tablets for type 1 diabetics in Ukraine.

Today's the day 🙃💪⚽️

Trainers on and back to PE with Joe. He's such an inspiration.

Can't believe Paperchase is on the brink of collapse, nice stationery is one of our favourite things and wandering round the Glasgow store followed by a coffee in the cafe was always a treat.
