Four primary schools have been given a sporting boost thanks to a link-up between Elderpark Housing and one of its partners.

The schools – all in Govan – have been given vouchers for a leading sports retailer to purchase sports equipment to support their health and wellbeing activities.

It is part of £1000 cash windfall for the schools from the housing association and technology business CX-Feedback with each school receiving £250. The four primaries are: Riverside, St Saviour’s, Pirie Park and St Constantines.

Both organisations say the cash boost is part of their ongoing commitment to help communities thrive.

Gary Dalziel, chief executive of Elderpark Housing, said: “We are very pleased indeed to have teamed up with our partner CX-Feedback to deliver this donation to four local schools.

“It is part of Elderpark’s continued focus to engage with many different organisations within our local community and we look forward to building upon this connection in the future. We appreciate our digital tenant engagement partners’ commitment to supporting this initiative.”

Elderpark and CX-Feedback this summer made a similar sports-themed donation of £1000 to renowned Glasgow-based sports charity Park Villa which recently took over the running of the former Drumoyne sports centre from Glasgow City Council.

That donation is seen as helping those now running the centre get off to a flying start delivering sport for all in the community.

Johnathan Briggs, chief executive of Glasgow-based CX-Feedback, said: “Sports provision is an important part of the life of any school and we are delighted to be enhancing that. We recognise the health and well-being benefits of sport combined with the positive relationships It can bring to young people’s lives.”
