Funding

The Junior jogscotland Viewpark initiative has been funded and supported locally by the following partner agencies, local companies and organisations:

The Warburtons Trust supplied the initial funding which allowed the club / initiative to be formed.







The Rotary Club of Bothwell and Uddingston supplied our coloured training bibs.
Port@l supplied our athletic equipment.
ATHelite Running Supplies provided us with prizes in the form of training shoes for our launch in May 2008 and offer a 10% discount for all members.

Strathclyde Fire and Rescue invested in the community project which allowed us to supply the club and the three partner schools with junior jogscotland training packs. With this funding we were also able to purchase t-shirts for all the coaches for easy identification.

North Lanarkshire Leisure were one of the initial partners and provided training workshops for the school staff and volunteer parents.

Scotmid supplied goody bags for all the kids at the initiative launch in May 2008

We thank all of the above for supporting this community initiative.

The Saturday Club Underway

Our club has now been running for two weeks and is finding its feet. The teams prepare their training sessions beforehand using the junior jogscotland packs and utilise the sports equipment such as the soft javelins, been bags, hoops etc which were gifted to us by Portal who are based within the community.

The hour goes in fast and everybody enjoys making new friends and having fun whilst running about and exercising. We purchased t-shirts from jogscotland for all our coaches and every child is given a training bib to wear for security and identification, these were gifted by the Rotary Club of Uddingston and Bothwell.

If you live in or attend school in NLC ward 13, Thorniewood and you have or are a child who may be interested then get in touch. All you need is a bit of energy and a pair of training shoes.

We will be arranging a visit from jogscottie and are planning other events this year.

The club will be running next on Saturday 20th September at Tannochside Primary School.
