Summary
Highland Bears Basketball Club in Inverness just landed a £3,000 grant from Aldi Scotland’s Scottish Sport Fund to make hoops more accessible for kids across the Highlands. With volunteer-run programs already keeping costs low, the funding will buy new gear, expand community outreach, and offer free sessions in remote areas — ensuring kids from age six to teens can play without financial barriers. This boost is part of a wider £6,250 investment by Aldi into grassroots sports across the north-east, Highlands, and islands, supporting clubs like Arrows Trampoline and Aberlour Tennis. Since 2016, the Scottish Sport Fund has backed over 650 clubs nationwide, proving that local sports are key to healthy, active communities — no matter where you’re from.
