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.
Whether you want to join an activity, volunteer, support our work or find out more about our community programmes, we would love to hear from you.
