November 6 marked 137 years since Celtic Football Club was formed at St Mary’s in the Calton, where Brother Walfrid and the Club’s other Founding Fathers made a stand to help those most in need within their local community.

The festive period, although ordinarily a joyous time for most of us, can often be one of the most difficult and challenging times of the year for those facing hardship in their lives.

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.

The generosity and compassion of the Celtic support is truly unsurpassed and we simply cannot make a difference to the lives of so many without you.

Together we can ‘Make Christmas Magic’.

Thank you for your magnificent support.
