Celtic FC Foundation Launch 2025 Christmas Appeal

Celtic FC Foundation – the Club’s charitable arm – are today delighted to officially launch our 2025 Christmas Appeal, ahead of the 138th anniversary of the Club’s formation tomorrow. As always, we humbly ask you to join us in sharing the Spirit of Christmas with those who need our support.

Whilst this need is ever-present and far-reaching, the festive period is the time when hardships are felt most profoundly.

Through last year’s Appeal, you made a phenomenal difference, with the Celtic Family raising and distributing an incredible £412K and you can find full details HERE

You Made Christmas Magic for:

1,068 families facing poverty and hardship in Glasgow and in West, Belfast/Lisburn and Dublin, including those who attended Paradise Pit Stop on Christmas Day.
938 vulnerable pensioners and other individuals across Glasgow and the West and Edinburgh.
725 Glasgow children.
38 grass roots charities.

Our 2025 Christmas Appeal, as always, aims to bring some comfort and joy to those who need it most.

Across our local communities, we will be supporting families facing poverty - pensioners, women and children in refuge, the homeless community and refugees, along with a host of others who are experiencing hardships.

And through our Paradise Pit Stop initiative - which operates four days a week, all year round – we will once again open the doors of our home, Celtic Park, for a special Christmas Day offering, providing a festive meal and the warmest of welcomes. Further details on the registration process will be available later this week.

Our Christmas Appeal will touch thousands of lives this festive period and we now ask you, the completely unique and unsurpassable Celtic support, to stand with us and help make a positive difference for those who need it most.

In addition to requesting donations, the Appeal will also see the return of a host of fundraising events and initiatives and full details can be found at www.celticchristmasappeal.com
