Celtic F.C. Foundation
- Glasgow, UK
Various
Celtic FC Foundation is a registered charity (Scottish Charity number SC024648).[1]
Celtic Football Club was initially founded to raise money for the poor in the East End of Glasgow and the club still retain strong charitable traditions today.[2]
In 1995 the Celtic Charity Fund was formed by the football club as a charitable trust with the aim of "revitalising Celtic's charitable traditions", and by 2013 had raised over £5 million.[3] In 2006 The Celtic Foundation was established within the football club itself to co-ordinate the club's social, educational and community work under one umbrella.[3] Celtic FC Foundation was established in late 2013 by merging The Charity Fund with the Celtic Foundation, establishing a stronger charity with a wider role and greater reach.[3][4]
Led by the Chief Executive and staff, the priority of Celtic FC Foundation is to provide assistance to those who face daily challenges within the following key priority areas:[4]
- Improve Health
- Promote Equality
- Encourage Learning
- Tackle Poverty
In addition, Celtic FC Foundation offers support in the form of delivery and/or partnership to external charities and other organisations who offer value in the community and whose principles fit within these key priority areas.
