The #AFoundationFromHome campaign has spread far and wide; from children around the UK who were missing school, to adults living with dementia and more.
To mark this important work, RangersTV has been speaking to the Foundation and the people it has supported, in order to create a three part #AFoundationFromHome video series. The first, entitled “Keeping Mentally Active” is below:
Hear from the children who enjoyed free worksheets for 12 weeks, a carer who describes the Football Memories series as a “god send” and Govan High School’s Deputy Head Teacher who knew her students were continuing to be supported from home…
Episode 2, “Keeping Physically Active” is below:

Senior Communications Executive at the Rangers Charity Foundation, Rachel Cummins, said: “First and foremost, everyone at the Foundation is hoping that our supporters, charity partners and all the children and adults we work with across the community are staying safe and coping with all the changes to daily life at the moment.
“We hope that the Rangers Family will enjoy watching all three episodes and know that their Foundation will always be there to act as force for good, even in the most uncertain of times.”
