Hillhead Sports Club

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month at Hillhead

Pride is for everyone because it is, at its heart, a celebration of diversity.

At Hillhead, we come from different backgrounds, cultures, beliefs and life experiences. We play different sports, support different teams, speak different languages and follow different paths through life.

That diversity is one of our greatest strengths. It makes our club more welcoming, vibrant and interesting, and helps create the community we all value.

One club. Many sports. For all.

🏆 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫: 𝐍𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨 🏆

Volunteers have, since our inception in 1892, long been the lifeblood of our memorial Trust and its sporting sections. As the Trust, and the sports it offers, continues to grow, encouraging new people to step forward is vital to our future.

This annual award is presented in honour of former Trust Chair Alan Wilson, whose many, many hours of volunteer service exemplify the spirit of Hillhead.

It recognises a 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 who has stepped up and made a real contribution over the past year. We want to hear about someone who has helped others, supported their section or the wider Club, and shown the Hillhead spirit in action.

They might be involved in rugby, tennis, cricket, Ultimate Frisbee, Run Club, social events, grounds, fundraising, or any other part of club life – and like last year’s Volunteer of the Year, Barri Gilani, provide inspiration to all our members.

The HSC Board will review nominations and select a winner, who will receive a  £𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 generously donated for this purpose.

Please send a short note with your nomination, explaining what the person has contributed to the Trust through volunteering in their sport, and why they deserve recognition, to [email protected] by 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞.

Let’s celebrate the people helping to build the next chapter of Hillhead.

We were delighted to welcome local MP Patricia Ferguson to Hillhead Sports Club.

The visit provided an opportunity to showcase the fantastic work taking place across the club, introduce some of the volunteers and coaches who help make it all possible, and discuss our ambitions for the future of Hughenden.

It was particularly encouraging to speak about the importance of community sport, sustainability, participation and protecting the unique “green lung” the site represents within the city.

There is a real sense of excitement around the future of the club and our aspiration to become the best multi-sport club in Scotland.

We’d like to thank Patricia for taking the time to visit us at Hughenden.
