MORTON in the Community is to open a community hub at Cappielow as part of a new SPFL Trust initiative.
It will be one of 10 hubs located at football stadiums across the country, providing a safe space for people to seek help, find hope and connect with essential support services.
The project aims to replicate the success of Aberdeen Community Hub, which launched with the support of the SPFL Trust’s Winter Support Fund in 2022.
The Morton hub is due to open in October.
The SPFL Trust is working closely with each participating community trust to create spaces that reflect the unique needs of their communities.
Each hub will provide hot food and a relaxed atmosphere, where people can access expert advice and support from a range of partner organisations.
These partners will deliver targeted assistance to help with a variety of challenges, from housing and finances — including energy costs — to mental health, physical health, benefits, and overall wellbeing.
Brian McLaughlin, chief executive of Morton in the Community, said “Inverclyde has an incredible sense of community, but we know that many families are struggling to make ends meet as the cost of living continues to rise.
“The new hub at Cappielow Park will be more than just a support service — it will be a place where people can come together, share experiences, and access the support they need. By addressing real and urgent challenges, we can help to strengthen our community for the future.”
