Gordon Milne
Gordon is the Chairperson of The Pars Foundation and oversees the financial aspects of the charity. A lifelong Pars fan, he became a trustee because he believes the Football Club should be at the heart of the community — and that winning in the community matters even more than winning on the pitch.
He takes great satisfaction in seeing the number of local people the Foundation reaches and the wide variety of projects delivered. Gordon is especially proud of the positive impact the Foundation’s health and wellbeing programmes are having, helping to make a real difference to people’s lives.
Looking ahead, his hope is for The Pars Foundation to play a central role in building a stronger, healthier, and happier Dunfermline community by understanding local challenges and working to meet them.
Lindsay Gilfillan
Lindsay plays an important role in helping to connect the Foundation’s ambitions with the needs of the local community. She works as an Anti-Poverty Project Manager for Fife Council, based in Dunfermline, and brings valuable local data and insight to help shape the Foundation’s projects.
A lifelong Pars fan, Lindsay has been going to games with her dad since the age of five. Becoming a trustee felt like a privilege and a chance to ensure both the club and the Foundation continue to support the local community. She was particularly drawn to the Health and Wellbeing pillar, and projects such as Football Memories and FFIT, which focus on improving people’s lives.
For Lindsay, one of the most exciting aspects of being involved is helping the Foundation through a period of change. She enjoys playing a part in shaping future ambitions and expanding the excellent work already being delivered. She is especially proud of the Foundation’s inclusive approach — from the wide range of programmes on offer to initiatives such as providing 50 free camp places to local families, ensuring cost is never a barrier to participation.
Looking ahead, Lindsay hopes the Foundation continues to grow its partnerships so that programmes reach even more people, especially those who are vulnerable or isolated. She would also like to see the Foundation share its impact more widely, so the positive difference it makes in the community gets the recognition it deserves.
