The Beautiful Game: Why the World Cup Has Us Talking About Our Own Home Teams
With the World Cup now in full flow everyone at Your Ford Centre is right behind the Scottish team and wishing them every success in the tournament.
We believe that success at any level starts from the grassroots up and that is why at Your Ford Centre we proudly support many grassroots sports clubs and organisations.
Proudly Supporting the Home Teams
We have always believed that a local business is only as strong as the community around it.
Here are some of the local clubs and charities we currently support from our branches in Kirkcaldy, Dundee, Cupar, Dalkeith and Harrisons in Peebles.
Women's & Girls' Football: We proudly back Hibernian Women's first team player Linzi Taylor and have supported her throughout her career.
We are also backing the next generation of ladies superstars with our training kits sponsorship for the Raith Rovers Community Club Under 12s girls team.
We also proudly sponsor all the girls teams at Dryburgh Athletic FC and Dundee West Community Club.
Local Community Clubs: We are a key fixture on local match days across our local communities, providing strips, training gear, arena sponsorships, and pitch-side boards for Kirkcaldy Dysart, Kennoway Star Hearts, Glenrothes Athletic 2014, Bonnyrigg Rose, Easthouses Football Club, Lochee United FC.
We have formed many key partnerships with clubs to help them focus on the future of our sport. One of the biggest partnerships we have is the naming rights sponsorship on the Dundee Ford Arena with Dundee West Community Club in Dundee.
We are also proud of our ongoing partnership with Raith Rovers Football Club. As a local, family-owned business, being the Away Upper Back of Shirt Sponsor for the 2025/26 season is incredibly special to us. Every time the team steps out onto the pitch in that iconic strip, they carry a bit of our shared community pride with them. Our support doest stop there, we are also delighted to support 3 of thier boy teams.
More Than Football: It's not just football we support from a grassroots level.

On the Golf Courses: We help keep local golf thriving by sponsoring scorecards and tee boards at Peebles Golf Club, backing the Dunnikier Kirkcaldy Ford Trophy, and supporting the ladies' centenary as a sponsor at Glencorse.
Cricket, Rugby, and Speedway: Our sporting family also extends to funding boards for Freuchie Cricket, sponsoring the Lasswade Rugby Minis Festival, backing the Dalkeith Ladies Rugby team, and supporting up and coming speedway racer Rocco Webb.
Real Community Impact
It's not just about sport, either. True community support means showing up where it matters most. That's why we also dedicate resources to vital local organizations and charities, ensuring they have the tools they need to operate.
From managing van servicing for the Scouts-North East Fife, providing vehicles for the Peebles Beltane festival, supporting the incredible work of the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, placing adverts for the Innerleithen Pipe Band, to providing transport vehicles for TOGS, we want to ensure our community stays connected and supported.
