Congratulations to Alasdair, who has been awarded the Unsung Hero Award from Glasgow Life Sport 🙏 👇

🌟 Unsung Hero: Alasdair, Hillhead Sports Club 🌟

Alasdair is one of those volunteers every club depends on, even if much of his work goes unseen. As House Chair at Hillhead Sports Club, he keeps everything running — from heating, lighting, and hot water to cleaning and fixing facility issues — ensuring a welcoming space for hundreds of members each week.

Alongside a demanding full-time job, Alasdair gives over 10 hours a week of his own time, consistently and without complaint. Much of this is done quietly behind the scenes- things that are only noticed if they don’t happen.

During a period of change at the club, Alasdair has been a steady and reliable presence, supporting all sports and age groups. He truly is the backbone of the operation and a perfect example of an Unsung Hero.

👏 Thank you, Alasdair!

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Month at Hillhead

Pride is for everyone because it is, at its heart, a celebration of diversity.

At Hillhead, we come from different backgrounds, cultures, beliefs and life experiences. We play different sports, support different teams, speak different languages and follow different paths through life.

That diversity is one of our greatest strengths. It makes our club more welcoming, vibrant and interesting, and helps create the community we all value.

One club. Many sports. For all.

🏆 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫: 𝐍𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨 🏆

Volunteers have, since our inception in 1892, long been the lifeblood of our memorial Trust and its sporting sections. As the Trust, and the sports it offers, continues to grow, encouraging new people to step forward is vital to our future.

This annual award is presented in honour of former Trust Chair Alan Wilson, whose many, many hours of volunteer service exemplify the spirit of Hillhead.

It recognises a 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 who has stepped up and made a real contribution over the past year. We want to hear about someone who has helped others, supported their section or the wider Club, and shown the Hillhead spirit in action.

They might be involved in rugby, tennis, cricket, Ultimate Frisbee, Run Club, social events, grounds, fundraising, or any other part of club life – and like last year’s Volunteer of the Year, Barri Gilani, provide inspiration to all our members.

The HSC Board will review nominations and select a winner, who will receive a  £𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 generously donated for this purpose.

Please send a short note with your nomination, explaining what the person has contributed to the Trust through volunteering in their sport, and why they deserve recognition, to [email protected] by 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞.

Let’s celebrate the people helping to build the next chapter of Hillhead.
