Thousands of children from across the Highlands and Moray are expected to benefit from free football sessions thanks to a new initiative kicking off in the region.
The project is an expansion of McDonald’s and the Scottish FA national ‘Fun Football’ programme which aims to provide over 10 million hours of football opportunities to over one million kids by 2026.
The programme includes 49 free football events and festivals per year which will benefit thousands of local children in the region, thanks to a collaboration between two Highland-based McDonald’s franchisees and the Scottish FA.
Girls and boys of all abilities will now be given access to the sport, removing any cost barrier involved in taking part.
McDonald’s franchisees Craig Duncan and Iain Fyfe have pledged £40,000 over the next two years to ensure young people have free access to the fortnightly events and monthly festivals.
Hundreds of children turned out at Bught Park in the Highland capital over the weekend for the launch event with more events coming soon.
