Montrose Community Trust Going Green

Montrose Community Trust Going Green

Montrose Community Trust is aiming to reduce their carbon footprint and as part of their ‘Tackling Carbon’ Project (in association with Keep Scotland Beautiful Climate Challenge Fund) are issuing free reusable sports drink bottles to participants at all of their sessions.   Every child and adult that participates in their Sport, Health, or Education programmes will receive a reusable bottle, in the hope that they continue to use such during sessions as opposed to purchasing single-use plastic.

Montrose Community Trusts ‘Tackling Carbon’ project involves a range of activities aiming to reduce their carbon footprint locally including their ‘Links Park Environmental Trail’ education project for pupils in P6 and their ‘BOOT & STRIP BANK’ for adults and children to donate their used and/or unwanted football boots and strips with a view to reducing the number of these items being sent to landfill, and in doing so, provide local participants of all ages with the opportunity to acquire second-hand football boots and/or strips for a small charitable donation.

Montrose Football Club players (and LPCT Ambassadors) Paul Watson and Gary Fraser kicked off the ‘Tackling Carbon’ project by handing over their unwanted boots to the Community Trust.
