BUILDING POWERFUL PARTNERSHIPS ACROSS GLASGOW, SCOTLAND AND THE WORLD

The Rangers Charity Foundation supports charities locally, nationally and globally and has donated £6.3 million in cash and in-kind support to date to a range of worthwhile causes.

The Foundation has worked with the world’s leading children’s charity, UNICEF, for 14 years, helping children across the globe via projects focused on education, health and emergency relief. This season’s support included a donation of £30,000 to support UNICEF’s response to unfolding emergency situations in Pakistan, Turkey and Syria.

We supported our National Charity Partner Bowel Cancer UK with a donation of £25,000, but even more importantly, helped the charity to spread lifesaving messages about the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer. With 90% of people surviving who are diagnosed early, knowing the symptoms really does help significantly in the fight against one of Scotland’s biggest killers.

The Foundation has also continued to support local partners, helping Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity bring the magic of the festive season to the wards by funding Christmas trees and decorations, as well as a special Safe Space bed for children with developmental and learning needs, thanks to a £10,000 donation.

Glasgow City Mission received £23,000 from our Big Ibrox Sleep Out events, taking our total donated to homeless projects to over £317,000 to date. The donation supported the charity’s Overnight Welcome Centre, offering a safe, warm space, hot food and support to those who would otherwise have to sleep on the streets.

We are incredibly grateful to the Foundation for their generous donation and support for this season-long partnership. Awareness of bowel cancer symptoms in Scotland has increased by nearly 10 per cent since last year, and we know some of this is due to the Foundation and the Club’s amazing family of players, fans and staff who have championed this lifesaving campaign.

The Rangers Charity Foundation has a long and proud tradition of working with services related charities and, along with the club, holds a Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award. This season saw us support three Armed Forces charities through our Armed Forces Fund, making donations totalling £15,000 to SSAFA, Poppyscotland and Combat Stress. To date, the Foundation has donated an incredible £241,000 to services-related charities.

Making Dreams Come True For Those Who Need It Most

The Foundation was delighted to be able to organise our famous Dream Days in person again this year following COVID-19 postponement last season.

We organised a special Dream Day experience in July 2022 for 10 nominees and their guests to attend the Rangers Training Centre where they had the chance to meet the First Team and Manager, enjoy an exclusive autograph session and watch the squad train.

Our annual Dream Fund Christmas party was also a particular highlight. Children living with life limiting illnesses and other difficult circumstances enjoyed meeting Rangers star Ianis Hagi.

Our Dream Fund Matchday Experience in 2023 was an experience to remember for our guests who came along. The day also included a tour of the Trophy Room and every guest received a signed matchday programme as a keepsake, as well as photographs from throughout the day.

It is great for us as players to have these days. It goes a long way the support we get from the fans and it’s great to be able to give something back and put a smile on people’s faces who are going through a tough time.
