Glasgow City Foundation Partner Scottish FA and Network Rail

By Sarah Crilly

As part of our Foundation’s mission, our mission is to ‘Champion Women and Girls’ by using the power of football and sport to promote physical and mental health and well-being, active citizenship and inclusion within our community and places of interest.

Therefore, I am delighted to let you know that we will be relaunching our partnership with the Scottish FA and Network Rail to promote rail safety within our Academy. This provides us the opportunity to spread vital rail safety messages to all young players within our Academy.

In the last six years, almost 140,000 children and youths have benefitted from the programme with a further 3,600 workshops planned to take place before 2027.

Over the next few weeks we will be promoting these vital safety messages via our Social Media “X” channel which you can find on the below link:

Nearly, 30,000 of the young people who have been part of the safety workshops have been girls, with almost 110,000 boys participating. Scotland’s Railway hopes to reach at least a further 90,000 young people with their safety messaging by August 2026.
