We are delighted to announce the appointment of 2 trustees, with ????? ????? and ?????? ???? joining the Walking Football Scotland board.
WFS President Kenny McLean said: “Brian has a lengthy history with WFS through our partnership with Age Scotland when he was CEO. It was always our hope that we could co-opt him onto the board at some point and we are so happy that we were successful in doing so.
Jacky is someone who has the same passion for walking football as all the trustees. He is pivotal to one of the great success stories of walking football with his work at Giffnock. He brings a plethora of experience to the board which I know will benefit WFS for the future.”
On becoming a trustee, Brian responded: Quite a few years ago, whilst CEO for Age Scotland I was instrumental in coordinating a consortium of partners with a single focus on developing walking football across Scotland. It is heart-warming to see how it has developed over the years with the amount of older people regularly playing every week and the fact Walking Football Scotland is a standalone charity. Being physically, socially and mentally engaged is paramount to our health therefore the benefits of walking football and its subsequent contribution to the health of Scotland’s older people should never be underestimated. I am passionate about sports and supporting older people so, as well as now working for Sporting Memories, I am absolutely delighted to join Walking Football Scotland as a trustee to support its continued success.
