CELTIC FC Foundation’s 2017 Christmas Appeal is now in full swing as we proudly aim to follow in the footsteps of Brother Walfrid, providing comfort to those on our doorstep.

We are delighted to confirm the next opportunity for supporters to play their part is coming up on Monday, November 6, 2017 – the 130th anniversary of the club’s formation.

We are asking members of the Celtic Family to fast for the day in honour of our charitable heritage and donate what you would have spent on food – a suggested £5 – to our Christmas Appeal.

Please give up food for just one day so that someone facing hardship can enjoy a meal this Christmas.

How to get involved:

1. Use the Hashtag #FoundingFathersFast

2. Tweet us @foundationcfc in advance to let us know you’re getting involved and why

3. Fast for the day on Monday, November 6, the 130th anniversary of the Football club’s formation

4. Change your profile pic for the day to the Founding Fathers’ Fast image 

5. Donate a suggested £5 to Celtic FC Foundation’s Christmas Appeal – Online at www.celticfcfoundation.com or by texting ‘CELT07’ followed by ‘£5’ to 70070

6. Tweet us @foundationcfc on November 6 to tell us what you’re giving up and what method you’ve used to donate

We want to help around 300 local families facing poverty, to provide a meal on the table and gifts for the kids. We want to bring the magic of Christmas to those homes. We are also looking to help vulnerable local pensioners to ease the financial burden at a challenging time of year plus a number of other local charities who support those experiencing homelessness or other disadvantage.

But we can’t do this without you.
