Most men do not commit violence against women. But all men have a role in ending it. If we all start by making a pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about men’s violence against women in all its forms, that will make a huge difference.

The club are delighted to have been recognised by the Scottish Football Association as the ‘Best Community Football Club’.
Committee members John Sime (left) and Dave Kelly (right) were presented with the award by Scotland manager Steve Clarke at the annual awards ceremony at Hampden Park.
The annual Scottish FA grassroots awards presented by McDonald’s and the Sunday Mail aim to recognise and reward people across the country that make a difference to grassroots football in their local community.
The awards are split into regional and national categories and grassroots clubs, coaches and volunteers from any of the six Scottish FA regions can be nominated.
The ‘Best Community Football Club’ award is a national award given to a Football Club which has shown strong growth and progress both on and off the field.
Speaking after the award, Trish Sime, Bonnyrigg Rose Community Football Club’s Development Manager said:
“The club are absolutely delighted to receive this award as it recognises the efforts of all the players, coaches, parents, volunteers and committee members as we strive to make our club better. We are rightly proud of the direction we are going and are now more than ‘just’ a football club as we have initiatives in mental health, with old folk, with youngsters, mums and dads and this is just the start.”
At Bonnyrigg Rose Community Football Club, football is only part of the story.
From our home at Poltonhall Recreation Grounds, we support people of all ages through sport, wellbeing and community activity. Every week, local people come through our doors for football, fitness, youth work, wellbeing support, lunch clubs, creative activities and social connection.
We are proud to be a trusted part of the community — creating opportunities, reducing isolation and providing a safe, welcoming space for everyone.
Mental wellbeing is at the heart of our community work.
Working alongside partners including Health in Mind, local schools and trained counsellors, we provide:
We know that people often reach out during difficult moments, which is why early support, compassion and connection matter so much.
Community connection is central to everything we do.
Through our Community Hub we provide:
We work closely with volunteers, local organisations and partner agencies to help reduce loneliness and ensure people feel connected and supported.
We support young people both on and off the pitch.
Alongside football, our programmes provide:
Our aim is simple — to give every young person a positive, safe and encouraging place to grow.
Our community work goes beyond organised activities.
We regularly work alongside local partners to help individuals and families facing financial hardship, mental health challenges, social isolation and other difficult circumstances.
By working together with schools, community groups, support organisations and local services, we aim to provide practical help when it is needed most.
We work hard to remove barriers to participation.
Wherever possible, our activities are free or low cost, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to take part regardless of circumstance.
We are also proud to be recognised as a Disability Confident Committed organisation, reinforcing our commitment to accessibility and inclusion.
We remain committed to growing our community programmes and developing new opportunities that support wellbeing, inclusion and connection across Bonnyrigg and Midlothian.
Our focus is on creating sustainable community spaces and activities that continue to meet local needs and bring people together.
We proudly work alongside a wide range of partners including the Scottish FA, Midlothian Council, Active Schools, Health in Mind, local schools, community police, volunteers and local community organisations across Midlothian.
Together, we are building a healthier, stronger and more connected community.
There is always something happening at Poltonhall.
