Kindred Group & Rangers Deepen Partnership With Charity Gesture

RANGERS are delighted to deepen its partnership with the Kindred Group as the club’s longstanding principal partner offers a great gesture to our Charity Foundation ahead of tonight's UEFA Europa League semi-final against RB Leipzig.

Kindred (which incorporates 32Red and Unibet) has today announced a significant, renewed investment in the ‘Team Talk’ initiative which has been run in conjunction with the Rangers Charity Foundation and has helped numerous local men thus far, while they have also donated its front-of-shirt sponsorship to Team Talk for the Leipzig match. Team Talk assists men across Glasgow in seeking advice, help and to encourage them to discuss their mental health– an impactful programme made possible thanks to initial funding received from Kindred last year. Kindred Group’s UK General Manager, Neil Banbury, said: “The investment we are announcing today means Rangers Charity Foundation can continue the fantastic progress it made during the first year of the project.

“Using the unique relationship supporters have with their local club, we hope to reach hundreds more men with the expanded mental health support services who would otherwise be suffering in silence." Connal Cochrane, Director at the Rangers Charity Foundation, said: “The investment from Kindred Group has already been fantastic for our Team Talk project.

"It is the first time one of the Club's main sponsors have made such a significant and targeted investment in the local community. We know talking can save lives and we can now extend the programme for another year, building on the success it had last year. “This will allow existing and new participants to attend our weekly programme which has already had tangible benefit for their mental health and wellbeing and allowed the group to start forming connections with each other as well as be supported by our staff in a safe space.”

‘Team Talk’ uses the local club as a mechanism to engage with men about their mental health, and the renewed year-long investment from Kindred is the core part of its ongoing commitment to become a sponsor of choice for football clubs and their communities and reinvent football sponsorship so that it benefits the whole community.

Kindred also sponsors Middlesbrough FC and Derby County and invest in Team Talk schemes at each club - with both recently winning Community Club of the Year in their respective regional EFL Awards.

Rangers Team Talk virtual sessions take place every Wednesday night from 6 – 8pm and are available for all adult males. Places are limited anyone interested should register their interest by emailing [email protected]
