Rangers donated 700 Tickets To Good Causes

Veterans, carers, the homeless and young people are just some of the groups who have benefitted from the Rangers Charity Foundation’s donation of over 700 match tickets for pre-season friendly games at Ibrox.

Organisations such as Barnardos, Help For Heroes, Glasgow Women’s Aid and the Salvation Army were delighted to receive briefs for pre-season matches at Ibrox to give their service users an enjoyable day out they would otherwise have been unable to experience.

Thanks to the generosity of the Club, the Rangers Charity Foundation was able to offer this opportunity to so many individuals, community groups and good causes.

Lauren Quinn from Harmeny Education Trust said: “I just wanted to thank you so much for the tickets.  I have spoken to a few of the children who attended and they are still buzzing about it!” Other organisations which benefitted included Turning Point Scotland, the Beatson, Touched By Suicide, Quarriers and Glasgow City Mission.

Rangers Charity Foundation

The Rangers Charity Foundation exists to bring clubs, supporters, staff and players together in a unique way in order to make a difference to thousands of people by means of a range of charitable and community work. The foundation strives to be champions of charitable giving, and since the creation in 2002 more than £4 million in cash and in-kind support have been given to hundreds of organisations, groups and individuals. The Foundation is working in collaboration with charity partners as UNICEF, Breast Cancer Care, Beatson Cancer Charity, the Simon Community and the Glasgow City Mission.  Also, there exists a partnership with the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity and the Armed Forces Partnership, which supports veterans and serving personnel.

The Foundation also aims to assist other charities and charitable causes where possible – particularly those that address the following societal matters:

• The needs of children
• Education
• Social inclusion
• Tolerance and understanding of the believes of all community sectors
• Health and well-being
