Event and food specialists at Aberdeen Football Club, Sodexo Prestige Venues & Events, has announced its new fundraising initiative to support the Aberdeen FC Community Trust. A donation of five pence will be made from the sale of every Pittodrie Pie.

During the last season 28 games took place at Pittodrie with over 50,000 fans enjoying a pie during the game. Sodexo and the Club hope more fans and visitors to the stadium over the next 10 months will enjoy a Pittodrie Pie, knowing that while enjoying a tasty snack during the match, they are also supporting a great community initiative.

The Community Trust became the official charity partner of AFC in 2014, they are actively involved in a diverse range of projects across Aberdeen and the Shire. With over 60 programmes being delivered to involve as many people as possible in physical activities, while promoting positive health, fitness and wellbeing.

Kenny Garden, General Manager at Sodexo Prestige Venues & Events, said, “We recognise the invaluable work that the Trust carries out across the community and wanted to increase our involvement and support this season.

“Previously, we have fundraised for them through collection cans at our kiosks on match days. However, we felt the pie donation was a more focused campaign that would involve everyone and highlight how we can all get involved. We really hope we can get more match day visitors enjoying pies this season knowing the good cause it will support.”

Ally Prockter, Chief Executive at Aberdeen FC Community Trust said: “With so many programmes being implemented across the city and shire it is crucial for us to have a steady stream of funds to continue their delivery.

‘The Pittodrie Pie Donation from Sodexo is a simple, but effective fundraising effort that we hope will gather momentum and encourage people to have a snack on match days and support the Trust at the same time.”
