Story

I have signed up to take part in Celtic FC Foundation's
Celtic Stay up for the Champions 2020 event.

Normally the  event takes place at St Anne's Primary School, Whitechapel, however due to the Covid pandemic we are unable to undertake our sleep out together. The charity have put together a different event called Stay up for the Champions, however I feel that as in previous years it is important for me to be reminded on firstly how lucky I am and secondly the great challenges that homeless people face, which I feel can only be understood by sleeping out  in severe weather conditions, as they do every night, which I intend to do in my back garden from 10:45pm to 6.00am on Friday the 4th December 2020 . I have been tasked with raising a minimum of £150, so I am kindly asking you to support me with a donation, no matter how big or small. Funds raised will support Celtic FC Foundation's 2020 Christmas Appeal, which reflects the very essence of why our Club was set up back in 1887. 

The Appeal will help local families and pensioners who face poverty and hardship and a number of charities who care for those experiencing the torment of homelessness or other disadvantage. 

Your
support will be invaluable.

Proceeds raised will be devoted to the Christmas Appeal phase of our Football for Good Fund, with a particular focus on our charity partners working with those facing homelessness or living in refuge.
