The Foundation achieved several important milestones last season, including helping over 2 million children since the beginning of its long-term partnership with Unicef, the world’s leading children’s charity, and smashing the £200,000 barrier in terms of funds donated to homeless projects in Scotland.
The charity’s Hub In The Community project with Govan High School has proved so successful that two other schools in Glasgow have come on board and for season 2020/21 the Foundation will have Hub Officers in both Knightswood Secondary and Drumchapel High.
During the year, the Foundation delivered over 20 community programmes reaching 7,509 people of all ages. From Autism Friendly Football and Visually Impaired Football, to the Wider Achievement programme and new Job Club, the charity is changing lives in the community for the better!
The Foundation delivered 780 free hot meals to primary school children via its Go Fitba project, 147 adults lost a total of 577.55kg and 1,052cm around their waists thanks to its Football Fans in Training initiative and local Food Bank received over 2 tonnes of food and £10,000 thanks to the generosity of fans and the Foundation.
The Annual Review also details how the Foundation has coped with the effects of covid-19 and helped people through these unprecedented times. The charity has worked hard to respond to the needs of the community throughout the pandemic, providing hundreds of weekly fun and educational worksheets for young people, facilitating a donation to provide a daily food service in Govan and sharing weekly football challenges and fitness sessions so kids and adults could stay active.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters, the Foundation team donated drinks, snacks and treats to hospitals to provide a free tuck shop for patients unable to receive visits from loved ones and also arranged special videos of support from Rangers First Team players for people in need of a special boost.
Of course, none of this would have been possible without you, the supporters. Thank you to everyone who has helped the Foundation achieve so much over the last year!
Foundation Director Connal Cochrane commented, “I would like to extend enormous thanks on behalf of everyone at the Rangers Charity Foundation for such amazing support and pay continued tribute to the generosity and trust given to us by our many funders and partners.
