An eventful year ahead for Celtic FC Foundation

DUE to the wonderful support of the Celtic Family, 2014 was a fantastic year for Celtic FC Foundation, culminating in an incredibly successful Christmas Appeal. However, we can only continue to make a difference with YOUR support. 

We already have a number of events and initiatives in the calendar for 2015 so there are more opportunities than ever to get involved and back Celtic FC Foundation.
