At our Annual General Meeting earlier in June, Foundation members unanimously recommitted to their pledge to the Partick Thistle Youth Academy.
Every month, TJF makes a £2,000 donation to the Academy, helping to secure and strengthen the youth pathway in red and yellow. The Foundation has already contributed £60k to the Academy since the pledge started in late 2023.
The Academy has brought through several first-team stalwarts over the years, notably including TJF member Aidan Fitzpatrick, who last week signed-up at Firhill for another season. We want to see that turn into a conveyor-belt of talent that powers Thistle into the top flight, and helps to build the Club as a sustainable long-term endeavour.
