We’ve teamed up with the SPFL Trust to run the unique Prostate FFIT (Football Fans in Training), a free 12-week healthy living and exercise programme for men affected by prostate cancer.
Our current programme kicked off at Rugby Park in Kilmarnock AND Pittodrie in Aberdeen in January 2025 – and we’re delighted to support a full team of ‘players’ at both clubs!
Our initial courses kicked off 2023: at Rangers and Heart of Midlothian in January, then at Hearts and Kilmarnock in September.
In 2024, our Prostate FFIT programmes ran at Rangers, Kilmarnock and St Johnstone. We’ve just launched our second season at Aberdeen FC and our third season at Kilmarnock FC!

It’s even made the news..!
- Sky Sports Scotland went along to a session at Tynecastle last year – take a look at their report!
- Back in March 2024, STV News at Six talked to our ‘players’ at Ibrox and found out what the programme meant to them:
