Ayrshire Tigers PFC is a community-based Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) based in Ayr, working in partnership with the Scottish Powerchair Football Association (SPFA) to provide equal opportunities for powerchair users in Ayrshire to engage in team sports.
The club is an independent organization run by its own Board of Trustees, elected by its members. It focuses on providing opportunities to play, coach, and support powerchair football, and is open to everyone. The team currently competes in the Scottish Powerchair Football Premiership.
Founded to benefit powerchair users in Ayrshire, the club aims to foster community, prevent isolation, and create a welcoming, fun environment where members can be part of a team.
