Dumbarton’s D-Unit Combat Sports Hub is one of 14 local clubs across the region to benefit from Aldi’s Scottish Sport Fund.
The Vale of Leven industrial estate club has been awarded £500 after successfully applying to the fund, which aims to get more people physically active and involved in sport.
Since launching in 2016, Aldi has invested over £50,000 and supports over 100 clubs across Glasgow and west-central Scotland, helping to improve community access to sports across the region.
Richard Holloway, regional managing director for Scotland, said: “It’s brilliant that a wide variety of sports clubs across Glasgow and west-central Scotland have been able to benefit from our Scottish Sport Fund initiative.
“It’s humbling to see how much of a difference extra funding can make to clubs and in supporting people across Scotland to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.”
Aldi’s Scottish Sport Fund is open to any sporting organisation in Scotland that meets the criteria, from rugby clubs to after school groups.
Groups can apply for funding for a wide range of purposes, including new strips and equipment, or for putting towards the cost of training facilities and coaching
