CONGRATS TO THE TRUST

More great recognition for our Community arm, well done to all involved.

BEST COMMUNITY FOOTBALL FOR ALL PROJECT

Last night, the Scottish FA East Region facilitated the McDonalds & Sunday Mail Grassroots Awards ceremony via Zoom.

During the event, which was attended by Scotland Women’s Head Coach Shelley Kerr MBE, it was announced that Montrose Community Trust has been awarded the BEST COMMUNITY FOOTBALL FOR ALL PROJECT award.

Our Project Manager Logan Cruickshank was in attendance to collect the regional award, which now sees us being nominated for the national award.

We wish to share the accolade with, thank and congratulate the partner clubs that form the Montrose Community Football Club, being Montrose Youth FC, Montrose Amateur FC, Montrose Ladies FC, Montrose Roselea JFC and Montrose Walking FC, and the extensive network of volunteers that ensure such opportunities exist.

NOMINATION:
Montrose Community Trust demonstrates that football has a unique ability to reach, engage and positively influence many.

MCT engage with over 1400 people each and every week from the age of 1 to 90+ through an extensive range of sporting, health and educational initiatives.

Using the context of football, MCT deliver 34 distinct programmes, each and every week, that seek to support the most vulnerable and disadvantaged in their community, whether it be those that are disengaged from the mainstream curriculum, unemployed, living with a disability, suffering from poor mental health, living with dementia and/or in isolation to name just a few areas of work.

Over 10% of the towns population engage with the Trust weekly, and over 25% annually. Many enjoy the extensive range of initiatives on offer, whilst many have come to rely on the essential services provided.

In addition, MCT ensure that regardless of age, ability and/or aspiration, everyone can participate in recreational and/or competitive football.

Their community football programme provides opportunities for boys and girls as young as 18 months old, providing a fun introduction to football, right up to walking football for men and women in their 70’s and 80’s.

In between such, MCT deliver bespoke programmes for girls, children and adults with disabilities, and adults recovering from harmful addictions.

For those with a desire to play competitively, their Montrose Community Football Club provides opportunities across all ages with Montrose Youth FC (boys and girls, from age 5 to 17), Montrose Amateur FC, Montrose Ladies FC, Montrose Roselea Junior FC, Montrose Masters FC (over 35’s) and Montrose Walking FC (men and women).

Chairman John Crawford said, “I would like to once again sincerely thank all those who turned out to get behind the club last season and who supported us during the unprecedented close season. I know many fans have been desperate to see season tickets go on sale, and I am delighted we are now in a position to do so.

“The season ahead will be different in many ways, and we currently expect to start with games behind closed doors. However, our recent investment in a streaming service will make all MO games at Links Park available online.

“I hope this assurance of getting all the action will encourage fans to snap up their season tickets during the Early Bird offer.

“The achievement last season of Stewart, his staff and the players was understandably overshadowed by other events. Looking back now on a 3 year run in which he delivered a league title followed by back-to-back Championship Play Off places, we should all be rightly excited as we look forward to the re-start of our journey.

“I really hope this continued success and positivity around the town will encourage more people to take advantage of our generous offers and join SP’s Barmy Army."

With members lounges currently out of use, existing Willie Johnston Lounge members are encouraged to purchase Ground Entry season tickets in the meantime.

As and when restrictions are lifted enough to allow the return of member lounges, the Club will look to offer upgrades where possible.

As a thank you to the Club’s charitable arm, (Montrose Community Trust) who have done an incredible job during lockdown, fans will be given the option to make a small voluntary donation when purchasing their season ticket.
