Scottish wholesaler Dunns Food and Drinks has announced a new charity partnership with Aware Scotland and Scotland’s oldest football club, Queen’s Park.
The partnership will see the club provide coaching sessions and experiences for young people facing adversity.
This will include free match tickets for distribution among the young people that Aware Scotland supports, and the opportunity for one of them to be chosen as the club’s mascot, and featured on Queen’s Park social media platforms prior to the match.
Bucket collections at future Queen’s Park home games will support Aware Scotland’s work, while Dunns Food and Drinks will offer young people the chance to attend training sessions, games, and press conferences, helped along by goodie bags.
Founder of Aware Scotland, Chris Glancey, said: “We are incredibly grateful for the support of Queen’s Park and Dunns Food and Drinks. This partnership provides invaluable opportunities for young people who have faced challenges. By offering experiences like this, we can help build confidence, resilience, and a brighter future.”
Operations director at Dunns Food and Drinks, Julie Dunn, added: “We are proud to partner with Queen’s Park to support such a worthy cause. Our company has a long history of giving back to the community, and this initiative aligns perfectly with our values. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this partnership will have on the lives of young people.”
Head of commercial at Queen’s Park, Kieran Koszary, said: “As a community-focused club, we are delighted to work with Dunns Food and Drinks and Aware Scotland on this exciting project. By providing opportunities for young people to engage with the club, we hope to inspire and uplift them.”
