Give the gift of sport

This holiday season, let's come together to make a difference in our community through sport and a hot meal supporting local children and families

This holiday season, we’re inviting our community to come together and make a difference. Many families across Aberdeen are facing financial hardship, making it harder to access sport and, at times, even a hot meal.

That's why we've created the Giving Tree to support our community projects that provide opportunities for children and families to stay active, learn new skills, and be part of something positive.

From swimming lessons and football to athletics and more, every donation helps us open doors to sport for everyone.

The Impact of your donation

Thanks to the generosity of our incredible ASV community, last year’s Giving Tree campaign raised £859.50, which, with Gift Aid, totalled £1,042.13.

Every penny went directly to supporting community projects that make a real and lasting difference in the lives of local children and families.

Donors could choose how their contribution was used, and the funds were distributed as follows:

  • Home of Community Sport: £767.50
  • ASV Matchday: £51.88
  • Links Swimming Lessons: £24.00
  • ASV Energisers: £198.75

These projects simply couldn’t run without the help of sponsors and donors. Their impact is invaluable, and we’re deeply grateful for every contribution that helps us continue this work.
