I‘m running the Glasgow Half Marathon on Sunday September 30th, to raise funds for the Partick Thisttle Frame Football team.

Frame Football was developed when Frame Football Scotland approached PTCT asking for assistance in developing a service for frame footballers to participate in physical activity within the local community.

Our pilot phase has already returned some remarkable results, with beneficiaries themselves and parents expressing amazement at kids actually standing without the aid of a frame and others developing softer skills of increased confidence and socialising to a level they have been unable to achieve in the past. As well as improving mobility and well-being, the benefits of peer support through football activity is evident.

Frame Football Scotland are delighted at the way we have managed to use the expertise of coaches and the profile of the football club to develop and support the sport through its primary stages and look forward to developing this work further and embedding Frame Football as a realistic physical recreation option for all young people across Scotland who walk with the assistance of a frame.

Frame Football currently runs on Sunday mornings from 10am – 11am at Firhill Complex.
