The club becomes the fifth different winner of this award as they take the accolade from Livingston who won last time out.Motherwell drew attention from across the country during the summer of 2021 when supporter donations of £60,000 were matched by the club in order to provide low-income families with free season tickets.

"Therefore, ensuring that all of our stadiums are family friendly is crucial in order to securing the next generation of Scottish football supporters.
"This is something that Motherwell take very seriously, and their efforts have been, quite rightly, recognised by Scottish football supporters.”
Motherwell – who are led by chief executive Alan Burrows and chairman Jim McMahon – have had a rollercoaster season under manager Graham Alexander which saw them scrape a top six Scottish Premiership berth with an injury time goal at Livingston.
