Sports clubs can apply for grants of up to £3,000

The supermarket is making £50,000 available to clubs across Scotland this year, with £6,000 specifically allocated to organisations in the west of the country.

Funding can be used to improve facilities, purchase new equipment, invest in sports kit or support other projects that help clubs grow.

The Scottish Sport Fund first launched in 2016 and has distributed more than £500,000 to over 650 clubs during the past decade.

Previous recipients include Greenock Glenpark Harriers, South Ayrshire Volleyball Club and Stewarton Tennis Club.

This year's programme will see the top three shortlisted clubs in each region selected by an Aldi Scotland judging panel before progressing to a public vote on social media.

The winning club will receive £3,000, while two runners-up will each be awarded £1,250. A further club will receive £750.

Applications are open until August 2 for eligible clubs in West Scotland.

Successful applicants will be notified within six weeks of the closing date.

Full details, eligibility criteria and application forms are available on Aldi's website.

Tom Brearey, regional managing director at Aldi Scotland, said: "Over the past decade, we have seen the real impact this funding has on clubs and communities across Scotland.

"Through the Scottish Sports Fund, Aldi has helped clubs invest in the equipment, resources and spaces they need to grow and succeed.

"In what is a monumental year for sport globally, we are proud to continue playing our part in supporting sports clubs here in Scotland and remain committed to making sport more accessible nationwide.

"The response each year is incredibly positive and we look forward to working with even more clubs in 2026.

"I encourage clubs in West Scotland to apply and take advantage of this opportunity."
