Well done to Penicuik Athletic Youth Football Club on another donation of football strips, bibs and balls to youth football academies in Malawi.

Via Strips4Malawi, young people from both Play Football Malawi in Lilongwe and Ekweiweni Tafika Sports Academy have benefitted from these kind donations (pictured).

These donations make an invaluable difference to some of the poorest children in the developing world, offering them an opportunity to play football with a full strip. This engenders a sense of pride and confidence in playing the sport, encouraging them to maintain the practice and continue to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of doing so.

I have lodged a motion in Parliament to pay credit to the Club on their generosity: https://www.parliament.scot/…/votes-and-motions/S6M-10144
