Salmon company’s gift is just the ticket
It’s probably not the most spectacular nor the most expensive gift the Scottish Salmon Company’s Community Fund has provided to the residents of the areas where it farms, but it might be the most appreciated – especially when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
SSC has supported the Back Football and Recreation Club on the Isle of Lewis with a new ticket booth, following its latest round of Community Fund awards.
The club is home to local football team Back FC, as well several junior teams, and was nominated by SSC production analyst Iain Macdonald to receive funds to build a shelter for volunteers who man the gates during matches.
Back Football and Recreation Club provides a range of facilities and activities which encourage members of the community to be both physically and mentally active, including a golf driving range, gym, indoor sports arena, and a wide range of clubs and classes.
Terri Davies, sport and community project coordinator of Back Football and Recreation Club, said: “Our volunteers work tirelessly to enable others to enjoy watching football, carrying out their duties whatever the weather.
“This donation from the Scottish Salmon Company has enabled us to provide a warm place for our volunteers to work, which will make a huge difference to our very hard working and committed team.”
