Posted: 12th January 2026

Miller Homes Scotland East is supporting Edinburgh United Football Club 2013 with its Community Fund initiative by donating £1,000.

Since launching in 2022, the Community Fund has made a meaningful difference to local communities across Scotland, awarding £344,000 in grants to 538 organisations. The initiative has helped a wide range of projects, from supporting foodbanks, sports teams, music groups and creative spaces.

So far in 2025 Community Fund has supported seventeen groups across Scotland with a share of £20,000, including Edinburgh United Foodball Club. Miller Homes’ donation to the group will go towards purchasing essential equipment and aiding team building activities.

Duncan Wright, head coach at Edinburgh United Football Club said: “Thanks to a generous £1,000 donation from Miller Homes, we can continue to provide our players with the equipment and support they need to develop both on and off the pitch. This funding will make a real difference to our team-building activities and overall experience for the players. We’re incredibly grateful for Miller Homes’ support and their commitment to football groups in the community.”

Neil Gaffney, Regional Sales Director for Miller Homes Scotland East, said: “We are delighted to be able to continually support causes within the communities that we have developments. It has become one of the most important things that we do at Miller Homes.

“We’re thrilled to support Edinburgh United Football Club 2013. Grassroots clubs like this bring young people together, build teamwork, and create lasting memories.
