WEE COUNTY sports clubs with a charitable status have two weeks to secure up to £500 extra financial support.

Supermarket Aldi has launched its new Scottish Sport Fund for sporting organisations with a registered charitable status.

From rugby clubs to after school groups and everything in between, organisations can apply for funding for a wide range of purposes including new strips, equipment or travel costs.

Clacks organisations must submit entry forms by Friday September 2.

Aldi Scotland managing director Richard Holloway said: “Aldi is growing in Scotland and we want to give something back to the local communities that have supported our expansion in recent years.

“As an official partner of Team GB, sport and healthy active lifestyles are important to Aldi so we wanted to launch a sport fund in Scotland to give clubs and organisations a helping hand to continue their great work in the local area.

“Applications are now open, so if you run a sports club in Scotland and are a registered charity, this is your chance to apply for up to £500 of funding.

“We want to help as many clubs as possible in Scotland and look forward to receiving applications from a diverse range of sporting organisations, particularly those that are helping to nurture the next generation of homegrown heroes.”
