Binos encourage wellbeing

- Gareth Jones

Stirling Albion are set to play a key role in promoting wellbeing in the area.

The Binos have joined in partnershi­p with the new Stirling: Alive with Scotland brand.

Albion wear the Alive logo on their new away kit and work to promote community activities and come up with new initiative­s to boost healthy living.

The club will receive £7,000 in sponsorshi­p as part of the partnershi­p, which was launched at the Wallace Monument earlier this month.

Provost Christine Simpson said:“This initiative supports Stirling Council’s aspiration that our citizens of all ages have access to programmes and facilities to promote health and fitness and we look forward to working with the club in this exciting partnershi­p.”

Stuart Brown, chairman of Stirling Albion, said:“The club’s relationsh­ip with Stirling Council has gone from strength to strength during my time and this new and exciting initiative is another significan­t step forward in working together to provide community activity across the whole of the Stirling district.

“Stirling Sports Village is a magnificen­t facility and lays great testimony to the council’s commitment to sports and leisure and we are proud to call its centrepiec­e, Forthbank Stadium, our home.

“Whilst success on the pitch is our top priority, engagement with the Stirling community is vital to the club’s future and I very much look forward to our partnershi­p continuing to develop and flourish to the mutual benefit of ourselves, Stirling Council and, of course, its residents of all ages.”

The new brand was launched by the council following the award last year of City Region Deal status for Stirling and Clacks.
