02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Celtic FC Foundation works to create opportunities for society’s most vulnerable and marginalised groups – principally, we address root causes of poverty by equipping individuals with the tools and means to reverse inequality. We raise funds through grant applications, hosting dinners and sponsored events to deliver projects ourselves or with selected partners. We hold an annual Christmas Appeal to raise funds to support families, pensioners, homeless and partner organisations provide support over the festive period.
