Cash boost for Glasgow Clan initiative helping youngsters learn ice hockey
The Glasgow Clan Ice Futures charity has been given a cash boost to help beginners take part in ice hockey.
Based at Braehead Arena, the charity was given £500 from Bellway Homes' West Division to buy starter equipment.
The charity was set up in November 2024 by volunteers to improve participation, educate children on the benefits of being active, and fundraise to support initiatives.
It is officially affiliated with the Glasgow Clan.
Kevin McCoskrie, charity trustee, said: "We're building a library of equipment that will allow beginners to be protected on the ice while they gradually source their own personal gear.
"Ice hockey is an expensive sport, and we don't want people to be put off by the cost.
"We're grateful to Bellway for their support with this."
Pauline Coates, sales director at Bellway Homes Ltd (Scotland West), said: "Ice hockey is an exciting sport and has a great appeal amongst young people in the community.
"The charity is delivering terrific work already, encouraging people to be active, and we're delighted to lend our support."
