The club has been delighted to join all others in the SPFL by taking part in the league’s Festive Friends project. The scheme, set up by the SPFL Trust, aims to offer a bit of help and support to elderly people in communities across the country, and to bring a little cheer at what can be a difficult time for many.

Clubs were asked to identify and contact some of the most vulnerable people living locally, and to deliver hampers packed with Christmas items. Our secretary, Duncan Little, made numerous trips to supermarkets to gather provisions, and he, other staff members, and our friends from the Altens branch of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service drove around Cove handing them over.

Duncan said it was a small gesture, but one which meant everything to the people he spoke to:

“It was quite emotional, there were tears from some, knowing that they hadn’t been forgotten, and everyone was so thankful for the hampers. The problem in some cases was getting away to deliver the next one, as people just wanted to chat, and to reminisce about football!”

“I am so happy that we have been able to brighten up Christmas a bit for lots of old folk who might otherwise have had to go without.

“It’s an important service, and I could see just how much it meant to the people we visited.”
