Graham’s Family Dairy backs Stirling’s grassroots sport, fueling young athletes and championing healthy eating from an early age.
Scotland’s largest family-run dairy has reaffirmed its commitment to community and youth development with fresh support for local sport – from grassroots rugby and football to junior squash and tennis.
Deeply rooted in the heart of the community, Graham’s Family Dairy is passionate about giving back and creating opportunities for children and young people to stay active, develop new skills, and enjoy a healthy, nutritious start to their day.
Last year, a sponsorship deal with Stirling County RFC saw over 2,500 Skyr and Squidgies yogurt pouches donated to its children’s breakfast club. Building on that commitment, the family-run business is once again helping to fuel the next generation of young athletes by contributing a further 2,500 high-protein yogurt pouches this year.
Beyond product donations and additional funding, support extends across the entire club, with all 18 teams, from the Men’s and Women’s 1st XV to junior and entry-level Boys and Girls teams, proudly sporting a ‘Graham’s Family Dairy’ logo. The partnership will also be visible around the pitch, reinforcing the brand’s ongoing investment in community sport and wellbeing.
Most recently, the family-run business has confirmed its financial sponsorship of Stirling Albion FC U14s, featuring the brand’s logo on the team’s new kits. In addition, Graham’s Family Dairy has pledged continued investment in the Bridge of Allan Sports Club, supporting the next generation of tennis and squash players. With a strong focus on junior development, the brand continues to back all age groups under 18, providing essential funding for matches and supplying nutritious dairy products for events throughout the year.
Robert Graham, Managing Director at Graham’s Family Dairy said:
“Growing up in Bridge of Allan, our parents always encouraged my sister Carol and I to take part in many of the sporting opportunities on offer in the area. As a family business still very much rooted in the community, we want to ensure that young people are given the same opportunities by supporting local initiatives.
“Supporting these clubs not only helps children stay active and develop confidence but also encourages healthy habits that last a lifetime. Being able to play even a small part in nurturing young talent and ensuring every child has access to nutritious dairy goodness is something I am personally very proud of. We see these partnerships as an investment in Stirling’s sporting future.”
At the core of the investment is a belief in the power of natural nutrition and its vital role in supporting health, sports performance, and recovery. By investing directly in the pitches and courts of Stirlingshire, Graham’s Family Dairy aims to ensure young people have the nutritional support they need to perform at their best and develop healthy habits for life.
Eddie Pollock, Performance Director at Stirling County said:
“Graham’s Family Dairy is now supporting around 200 youngsters at the club on a Saturday. If you come along on a Saturday morning, the place is absolutely buzzing, and we’ve got that ‘club feel’ back. It’s not a sponsorship or a donation, it’s a partnership. All our sponsors, including Graham’s The Family Dairy, are working together to improve the community and the town.”
As well as having a long-term connection with Stirling County, Graham’s Family Dairy began supporting Bridge of Allan Sports Club nearly 20 years ago and has been a key sponsor since 2006. The renewed partnership was marked by a session ran by former world champion squash player Laura Massaro, who shared her match-winning tips and tricks with club members young and old on the day.
Laura Massaro MBE, former world number one squash player said:
“Most people know how hard squash is as a sport in general. It’s really physical and a lot of work goes in. As a professional athlete, the three key areas of my career would have been training, recovery and nutrition. I started buying Graham’s Family Dairy products around 2018, I just really liked the fact that it was a family farm and that I knew where it was coming from. It’s brilliant to see a company supporting local sport.”
