The Football Fans in Training (FFIT) program is delivered by the Pars Foundation in partnership with the SPFL Trust, offering separate cohorts for men and women. FFIT is a health and wellbeing initiative that helps participants improve fitness, build confidence, and adopt healthier lifestyles through a combination of physical activities, nutrition education, and personal development.
Pars BEAT is a follow-on program to FFIT, welcoming both men and women to participate together. This health and wellbeing group is designed to help participants continue growing in confidence, fitness, and personal development.
Man On! is a free men’s health and wellbeing programme from The Pars Foundation, using football, conversation and social connection to support men across Dunfermline and the surrounding community. The programme provides a relaxed, welcoming space where men can get active, meet others and talk openly without the pressure or stigma that can sometimes come with accessing more formal support. Football is at the heart of the programme, with weekly sessions combining physical activity with informal conversations around topics including mental wellbeing, confidence, managing stress, relationships, routine and healthy lifestyles.
Every fortnight the Pars Foundation invites the over 55’s to partake in a Club that makes for a casual atmosphere and encourages members to socialise and enjoy the sessions put on by the friendly staff.

Fancy a kickabout, a bit of exercise, and a good laugh with other local women? Our Women’s Recreational Football sessions are all about having fun, staying active, and meeting new people — no pressure, no experience needed.
The Changing Room brings men aged 30–65 together to focus on mental health and wellbeing — using football as the starting point. Over a free 12-week programme, you’ll be part of a small group of men, sharing a bit of banter, getting involved in football-based activities like stadium tours, walking football, pitch-side walks, quizzes and guest speakers — while also having space to talk about the stuff that really matters.
Football Memories is a unique, welcoming group designed specifically for individuals living with dementia or Alzheimer’s and their carers. Using football-related memorabilia such as photographs, videos, and matchday programmes, this group encourages participants to reminisce, share stories, and engage in quizzes and conversations about the game they love. Held in a safe and relaxed environment at East End Park, the sessions are supported by trained staff and volunteers who create a warm and inclusive atmosphere.
The Pars Foundation is proud to launch our Autism Sensory Packs, ensuring no fan is left behind. We know that for some supporters with autism or other neurodiverse needs, attending a match can feel overwhelming—the crowds, noise, lights, and new surroundings can all add pressure. Our sensory packs are designed to make the experience more comfortable, enjoyable, and accessible for everyone.
Our Creative Camps provide children and young people with the opportunity to explore their imagination, develop new skills and have fun in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment. Every session is packed with exciting creative activities designed to inspire confidence, encourage self-expression and help young people make new friends.
