SRP Good Neighbour Fund - Gartcairn Girls U/16's Football Team - Airdrie

In early 2025, Scottish’s Roads Partnership were contacted by Gartcairn Football Academy in Airdrie, who sought repeat sponsorship from the SRP ‘Good Neighbour’ Fund. This funding request provided a full squad of under 16-year-old girls with a new match day kit. The Football Academy, based at Airdrie Sports Centre, coach players from the surrounding towns in North Lanarkshire. SRP General Manager, Mark Miller, was delighted to continue this sponsorship of Gartcairn Football Academy, which has continued since 2021. SRP provided the football academy with a cheque for £750.00 to cover the cost of a ‘Away Match Day’ Kit for the whole under 16 team, ensuring the girls have smart attire for the new season.

In May 2025, SRP’s Operations Manager, Graham Drummond was invited to a Gartcairn Girls U/16’s training session at their football academy in Rawyards Park, Airdrie. As a show of their appreciation for the sponsorship, the girls wore their new football kit for the first time and surprised Graham with a gift, a framed football shirt showing Scottish Road Partnership’s Logo (see photograph below). This framed shirt now sits pride of place on Scottish Roads Partnership's Office wall in Bellshill. 

Normally a maximum grant of £500 each is available from the SRP ‘Good Neighbour’ fund. Application forms for the funding can be requested by contacting their admin manager Louise Berkley at info@scotroadspartnership.co.uk or telephone 0800 042 0188.
