We’ve teamed up with the SPFL Trust to launch the unique Prostate FFIT (Football Fans in Training), a free 12-week healthy living and exercise programme for men affected by prostate cancer.
Our initial courses kicked off in January 2023 at Rangers and Heart of Midlothian, then at Hearts and Kilmarnock in September. Rangers and Kilmarnock were in the 2024 starting line-up in January.
We’re currently recruiting ‘players’ as we begin our programme at Kilmarnock and St Johnstone in June, and we’re looking forward to working with Aberdeen in September!
About Prostate FFIT
- Men get the opportunity to meet and share similar experiences
- The programme is supported by experts in prostate cancer and fitness including Prostate Scotland, University of Glasgow and the SPFL Trust
