Supermarket giant Aldi is once again running its Scottish Sports Fund, which aims to encourage and motivate people of all ages and skill levels to take part in physical activities.

Applications are open for this year’s scheme, with one club in the south of Scotland set to benefit to the tune of £2,500. Two others will each receive £1,000, with others receiving £500.

Regional managing director for Aldi Scotland, Graham Nicolson, said: “Since 2016, Aldi’s Scottish Sports Fund has given a wide range of sports clubs the chance to benefit from essential funding to help them invest in much-needed equipment and resources.

“We remain committed to supporting sports clubs across Scotland to help continue the fantastic work they do in their local communities. Every year, we are blown away by the volume of applications we receive, and we are very much looking forward to welcoming even more in 2024. I encourage all sports clubs in the South of Scotland to apply and take advantage of this excellent funding opportunity.”
