Asda Blantyre’s Support for Local Football Team Blantyre United FC

That the Parliament commends the work of staff at Asda Blantyre, including that of the store's community champion, Mary Sutherland, in supporting local football team Blantyre United FC; understands that the team was set up by former Asda grocery colleague, Alan Dunsmore, to support men’s mental health in response to his concerns about his peers during the pandemic; recognises that Alan’s continued commitment to the club, as coach, has fostered a culture of support and community for players and supporters alike; understands that Asda Blantyre organised a recent football fun event, which was hosted by the sports broadcaster David Tanner, where Blantyre United were presented with a cheque for £1,000 from the Asda Foundation, as well as football shirts and match and training footballs; remembers that, as Scotland feels the positive power of football during the pre-World Cup excitement, it is grassroots and community clubs like Blantyre United FC who bring people together week in, week out; commends Alan for his continued dedication in taking the club from strength to strength, and wishes the whole team all the very best for the future.
