The Celtic FC Foundation have raised £1.3 million for those hardest hit by Covid-19 in Glasgow.
Thanks to the generosity of the Celtic Park club’s fans, thousands of the most vulnerable during the pandemic in the city have received desperately needed support.
From pensioners, the homeless, children to NHS staff fighting the virus on the frontline - they have all benefited from the money pledged to the Hoops charity wing since the launch of the fundraiser last year.
It comes under the 'Football for Good Fund' (FFGF) which reached the £1 million-plus mark since putting on hold its traditional fundraising activities when the pandemic took its grip last mark to focus on crisis-hit communities in Glasgow.
The Foundation has worked with 82 partner charities, schools and community organisations to supply urgent and vital food and essentials to fight poverty and offer mental health support.
Celtic FC Foundation chief executive Tony Hamilton said: “This has been an extraordinary effort from a lot of people, including many of our supporters at home and across the world, and I am very grateful to everyone who has helped with this.”
