Following the launch of our annual Christmas Appeal earlier this week, we are humbly encouraging supporters to get behind the Appeal and help us ‘Make Christmas Magic’.

And Celtic FC Foundation are delighted to confirm that we have once again received incredible support from our friends at Ocean Scotland, who have generously donated the opportunity to promote our Christmas Appeal messaging across Glasgow, during November and December.

Ocean Scotland operate some of the UK’s most prestigious out-of-home advertising locations and have been tremendous supporters of the Foundation for a number of years. Once again, they have shown magnificent backing for our Christmas Appeal, through the wonderful donation of complimentary advertising space, with screens at nine different locations across the city helping promote this year’s Appeal.

Celtic FC Foundation Chief Executive, Tony Hamilton spoke of the support provided, saying: “I’d like to express a huge thank you once again to Chris Trainer, Marc Keenan, and everyone at Ocean Scotland for their amazing, continued support of Celtic FC Foundation.

“With our Appeal now underway, this fantastic opportunity provides us with a platform to highlight the Appeal to a huge audience and is an invaluable resource for helping us to share our messaging and encourage supporters to get involved.”

Through this year’s Appeal, we hope to assist local families facing poverty, so they can enjoy the type of Christmas that many of us take for granted.

As well as pensioners, women and children in refuge, the homeless community, refugees, and a host of others who would otherwise struggle over the festive period.
