Together at Christmas.

St Mirren FC Charitable Foundation, today, is delighted to officially launch our 2025 Festive Buddies Christmas Appeal. This is our annual campaign to bring food, warmth, love and festive cheer to those who need it most across Renfrewshire.

While Christmas is often seen as a time of togetherness, joy and celebration, we know that is not the reality for all. Festive Buddies sets out to change that, ensuring no one in our community faces Christmas alone.

The campaign begins with our much-loved and exciting 12 Days of Christmas Auction, which helps raise the vital funds needed for our festive initiatives.

As we continue into December, we will host a series of heart-warming events, including our Buddie Big Scran and Football Memories Christmas parties, before landing on our biggest day of the year, 25th December.

On Christmas Day, our dedicated team of staff and volunteers will deliver a hot festive meal, hamper and gifts to adults and local families in need. Each visit brings comfort and connection.

“Christmas should be a time of warmth, joy and togetherness. Through Festive Buddies, we see the very best of our community, people coming together to care for others and make sure no one is left behind.”
— Gayle Brannigan, Chief Executive, St Mirren FC Charitable Foundation.

Our Festive Buddies Christmas Appeal will reach many hundreds across Renfrewshire, and we would like you to help us deliver positive change as we stand, Together at Christmas.
