Football legends Gordon Smith and Billy Davies have been announced as new ambassadors for the learning disability charity Capability Scotland.
Former football star and SFA Chief Executive Gordon Smith and ex-Rangers and Motherwell midfielder and Derby County manager Billy Davies will use their influence to champion Capability Scotland’s work across Scotland.
Both ambassadors will play a key role in vital fundraising campaigns, aimed at raising funds to provide life-changing support for disabled people and their families.
Sean Donachie, Deputy Director of Adult Services at Capability Scotland welcomed the football legends on board: “We’re extremely excited to have Gordon and Billy join us as ambassadors. Their passion for giving back and willingness to get involved will be invaluable to our work.
“Capability Scotland has ambitious plans to support more disabled people and their families across the country. With Gordon and Billy by our side, we’ll be able to reach new audiences, secure vital funding, and continue making an impact where it’s needed most.”
Capability Scotland is a charity delivering care, support, and education for disabled children and adults across Scotland. It has a range of facilities and services across the country which helps the people they support to achieve the best outcomes in their lives, no matter their needs.
Gordon Smith said: “Capability Scotland is a charity I have admired for a long time, and I’m honoured to step into this ambassadorial role. This role gives me the chance to make a real difference – whether that’s through opening doors to football networks, attending fundraising events like golf days, or sharing Capability Scotland’s message far and wide.”
Billy Davies added: “From the first moment I connected with Capability Scotland, I wanted to get involved however I could. This is a charity doing incredible work, and I’m proud to be part of it. I’ll be helping to promote campaigns, sharing its message through my networks, and supporting fundraising efforts wherever I can.”
