⛳ We’re incredibly proud to see the SPFL Trust x Perry Ellis Europe Golf Day return for its third year on 13th May 2026, with Callaway Apparel as our headline sponsor. This partnership reflects our shared belief in the power of sport to drive positive social change. In a year where the eyes of the world are on football, and as we celebrate Scotland’s first World Cup appearance in a generation, there’s never been a better time to harness that national pride for a greater purpose. By bringing the football and golf communities together at The Carrick, we aim to raise vital funds to support mental health in communities across Scotland. To get involved, contact enquiries@spfltrust.org.uk

We're proud to support @scotgov's Tackle Misogyny campaign, which aims to prevent violence against women and girls. Sexist content is prevalent online and is never harmless! It hurts girls in real life, including the ones you know. You can help to stop it. Don’t engage with it. Visit safer.scot to find out more.

A fantastic start to our first week of 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐓 💙 Supported by @prostatescot, @SPFLTrust and @GroupDig. This week we focused on the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle and explored what can influence our diet and exercise habits, from daily routines to motivation and environment. It was a great opportunity for everyone to share experiences and start thinking about small, positive changes. Participants also completed their sit-to-stand test to give us a starting point for tracking progress over the programme 💪 We then finished off the session with a group walk, getting some steps in and enjoying a chat along the way. A brilliant first week – well done to everyone involved! 👏
