BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOUR BY SUPPORTING AND WORKING WITH LOCAL PEOPLE

Being a good and trusted neighbour is important to the Rangers Charity Foundation, and we are proud to be playing an active part in supporting our local community.

We continue to be active in the Govan Thriving Place collective whose aim is to improve the quality of life for people who live and work in the local area with the Foundation’s Chief Executive chairing the Learning for Life and Work theme group.

We again provided funding to assist young people in the Drumoyne area in receiving packed lunches over the school summer break. We also delivered our Festive Friends Christmas lunch at Ibrox which was attended this year by 90 local senior citizens where they enjoyed a three-course meal, Christmas bingo and a performance from St Paul’s High School choir.

Through a partnership with HIS Church, a charity with a focus on providing food and supplies to those who need it most, the Foundation was able to provide organisations including Maslow Community Shop, Govan HELP, Govan Youth Information Project (GYIP), Elder Park Housing Association, Ibrox Foodbank, Safety Awareness Glasgow and Govan Community Council with essential pantry, hygiene and clothing supplies.

Over the course of the 2022/23 football season, we held two of our own matchday foodbank collections at Ibrox which benefitted a total of eight different foodbanks.

Govan HELP would like to say a massive thank you to the Rangers Charity Foundation and HIS CHURCH for the very generous donation of a pallet of food which will be used to help stock The Govan Pantry. This will help so many families using our service who are struggling to meet the weekly cost of food.

Enabling Others To Support Causes And People Close To Their Hearts Others And Close To

Over the past year we responded to 1,889 requests for support from people raising money for a wide variety of worthwhile causes.

Thanks to our discretionary grants fund, we were able to purchase two generators to help Ukrainian people who were without electricity to enable them to light and heat their homes during the ongoing conflict. Partnering with Strips4Malawi, we distributed clothing to different academies across the East African country.

Ukrainians face a huge problem of lack of electricity due to shelling of civilian infrastructure by Russia. The country has huge problems with electricity, communications, the Internet, and heating. By donating a generator, football clubs are showing solidarity with Ukraine and supporting Ukrainians in this difficult time. Your help is not only a donation of electrical energy, but a donation of humanity, love and hope.
