Chris Anderson Trust
Chris Anderson, the former vice-chairman of Aberdeen Football Club, was a sporting visionary and the driving force that helped take the Dons to the peak of European Football in the 1980's. The Chris Anderson Trust was set up in 1988 to honour his memory and to recognise the contribution and commitment he made to sport in general.
The Trust assists in the development of sporting talent among young people in the North-east, providing grants for under-18's and recognising outstanding achievement by the annual award of the Chris Anderson Memorial Medal. The trust also supports grass roots development by providing skills schools in a wide range of sports.
The Chris Anderson Trust Medal
The medal is given annually to a junior 17&U for outstanding achievement in sport. The medal is presented at a joint awards evening with Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeen Sports Council during April/May every year.
