With Christmas now just over six weeks away, the festive shopping frenzy is in full swing, as many of us look to find the perfect gifts for our loved ones.

Celtic FC Foundation are once again humbly asking supporters to contribute to the 2021 Christmas Appeal phase of our Football for Good Fund (FFGF) while doing your online Christmas shopping, via Give as you Live and AmazonSmile – with no added fees or charges.

Give as you Live is an online fundraising platform allowing users to shop at over 5,500 top stores and raise free funds for charity. It operates by donating a percentage of your transaction to your selected charity at absolutely no extra cost to you.

Or why not donate via AmazonSmile, a simple and automatic way for you to support Celtic FC Foundation every time you shop. The website is operated by Amazon with the same products, prices and shopping features as Amazon.co.uk.

Through the Appeal we want to give hundreds of families in our communities the Christmas they deserve, making sure there’s food on the table and gifts under the tree.

We also wish to help pensioners, women and children in refuge, the homeless community and refugees – as well as a whole host of others facing poverty and hardship.

Charity, and the generosity and compassion of the Celtic Family, will always be our past, present and future – it’s our heritage, our responsibility, our lifeblood.

Please join Celtic FC Foundation in making a difference this Christmas – it’s our reason for being.
