The club was delighted to welcome several Ukrainian families to Sunday’s match against Motherwell as part of our ongoing community engagement efforts.
Working with Street Stuff and the resettlement team at Renfrewshire Council, more than 30 Ukrainians took in our cinch Premiership opening day match.
They were welcomed to the SMiSA Stadium - along with staff, volunteers and patients from ACCORD Hospice - as the first recipients of our new Help a Buddie initiative. Post-match they also had the opportunity to meet some of the St Mirren players pitchside.
Help a Buddie is our brand-new initiative where St Mirren supporters have the chance to purchase and donate a match ticket for those less fortunate.
Due to the support for Help a Buddie so far we will be able to allocate a minimum of 15 tickets per league match that will be shared amongst some of the most vulnerable in our community and give them a chance to come along to the SMiSA Stadium where they might not have had the opportunity before.
The Help a Buddie scheme will run for the entirety of the 2022/23 season and will continue to help benefit local community groups/organisations and those less fortunate supporters. If you want to Help a Buddie please click HERE to donate a match ticket.
