Partick Thistle Nil Supports Water Aid

Partick Thistle players and staff today signed up to the Water Aid “Spotlight on Sanitation” Campaign.

Join Water Aid in calling on the UK Prime Minister to ensure the spotlight is put on sanitation at the UN Millennium Development Goal summit in September 2010.

Access to sanitation, alongside safe water, is vital for poverty reduction and forms the foundation of a healthy, productive society.

Ian Maxwell today said “This is a great cause. We are incredibly lucky to live in a modern society and have clean fresh water. This is not the case for so many people around the world. I personally gift aid to Water Aid as I believe this is an important charity in helping developing countries”

The writer of this blog commends the social conscience sweeping Firhill these days, but would appreciate if the players helped put those closer at home out of their misery by turning around some recent dreadful results on the park!
