Christmas Appeal beneficiaries support children and families this year

With our annual Christmas Appeal now in full swing, the support thus far from the Celtic Family has, as always, been truly phenomenal. We now turn our attention to the organisations who will benefit from your wonderful support and today, we focus on those beneficiaries who assist vulnerable families and children. We heard from some of these organisations on the importance of the support received, including Lesley Davidson of Loaves and Fishes, who recently hosted a very special visit from Celtic’s Nicolas Kühn and Luke McCowan. Lesley said: “At Loaves and Fishes we unfortunately have to supply around 250 food parcels a week. This puts enormous pressure on our service, so the support from the Foundation is invaluable. ‘When I first started here, everyone told me about the link over the years with the Foundation and Celtic FC and it’s just as strong as they said it was, especially at Christmas.’ “Every Christmas, we say that it can’t get any busier, but it does. But every Christmas, the Foundation are there supporting us and it means so much, we can’t thank everyone that contributes enough. “It was also fantastic to have Nicolas and Luke with us for the day. It was great to see them get stuck in and get involved by helping to make up some food parcels, and we’re grateful to them for coming to see us.”
