Scot JCB Group Kicks Off Partnership with Street Soccer Scotland

Scot JCB Group is pleased to announce a new partnership with Street Soccer Scotland, a leading social enterprise that harnesses the power of football to deliver positive social change.

About Street Soccer Scotland

Founded in 2009, by David Duke MBE, Street Soccer Scotland provides free football sessions and personal development opportunities across Scotland, with programmes in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, and Inverness. The organisation works with individuals who are facing significant social challenges, including homelessness, addiction, mental health difficulties, and social exclusion.

Street Soccer’s mission is to provide not only access to sport but also a structured pathway to improved wellbeing, training, education, and employment. Football acts as the entry point, offering a safe and inclusive environment from which participants can build confidence and take positive steps forward.

As part of its wider activities, Street Soccer also runs KitBack, an initiative that collects pre-loved football kits, resells those which have a value for vital funds and redistributes others to communities where they are most needed. This programme ensures that players across Scotland have access to appropriate kit, while also supporting sustainability by reducing waste.

Why Scot JCB Group is Partnering with Street Soccer

Iain Bryant, Joint Managing Director of Scot JCB Group, commented: “We’re passionate about making a difference in the communities where we live and work. Street Soccer Scotland’s values of inclusion, support, and empowerment mirror our own, and we are excited to be working together.”

David Duke MBE, Founder and CEO of Street Soccer Scotland, added: “We are delighted to be partnering with the Scot JCB team. Our values are strongly aligned, and we look forward to building on our existing relationship, with the aim of identifying opportunities to support our programmes and communities across Scotland.”
