Our charity golf day
Written By Jake Gray
We are delighted to confirm that we are hosting a golf day with our new partners Perry Ellis Europe, who are supporting our mental health work in communities across Scotland.
The golf day, which will involve teams from Scottish football clubs and their associated community trusts, will take place on Wednesday 15 May at the Carrick Golf Course, Loch Lomond.
Money raised on the day will also go towards funding our mental health work, which uses the power of football to support people who are often the hardest to reach.
We are grateful to headline sponsors Callaway Apparel and Perry Ellis Europe for helping us to fund and facilitate our charity golf day, and we are delighted that they will be joining us on the day alongside our two ambassadors from Scottish football, Brian Graham and Shelley Kerr.
Playing alongside Brian and Shelley are some legends of the game and some fantastic athletes.

- Shelley Kerr
Kerr, the former Scotland Women’s National Team manager, is glad to be involved.
She said: “To have a golf day at the Carrick is a fantastic way to generate financial support which is well needed for a great cause.
“We all know someone that has been affected by having poor mental health so, again, it’s about raising awareness and trying to do as much as we can to help.”
Mental health is something that is close to the heart of Partick Thistle captain and Jags women boss, Brian Graham.
“The more funding we can generate to help the cause, the better” he said.
“There’s still a lack of funding and that’s why we’re doing events like this, and in the future, to try and raising awareness and get the funding behind people to really get the support they need.”
Our CEO, Nicky Reid, said “We are pleased to confirm the details of our charity golf day in partnership with Callaway Apparel and Perry Ellis Europe.
“It has been a number of years since we have hosted an event like this, and it’s always a fantastic occasion, raising funds that will go towards our mental health work in Scotland.
We are so glad to have Brian and Shelley on board as ambassadors. Both of them are great role models within Scottish football and we are thankful for their support.”
