Generous staff keep footballers refreshed

Genero u s s t a f f f rom McDona ld’s A irdr i e r e s t au r a n t do n a t e d refreshments and fruit to the annual Cultural Football Festival.

Organised by Police Scotland, Nil by Mouth, North Lanarkshire Council and the SFA, this year’s event was held at the Ravenscraig regional sports facility.

The festival has been running for the past two years and consists of a full day event with a seven-a-side football tournament as well as a workshop hosted by Dave Scott from Nil by Mouth.

“The principles of the festival and organisers align with those held by McDonald’s, making football accessible for all.”
