Our Celtic Charity Wonderland event – to be hosted by Scottish actor, Martin Compston - will take place in the Kerrydale Suite on Sunday, December 15. It will include a Cruise Catwalk show featuring first team players, drinks and dining, live music, auction, raffle and Christmas market.

The main beneficiary will be CHAS (Children’s Hospice Association Scotland), a charity that provides the only hospice services in Scotland for children and young people who have life-shortening conditions for which there is no known cure.

CHAS runs two children’s hospices, Rachel House in Kinross and Robin House in Balloch, and a home care service called CHAS at Home.

[B:f3b9f894][U:f3b9f894]Celtic Christmas Appeal 2013[/U:f3b9f894][/B:f3b9f894]



Christmas is one of the most challenging times of year for individuals and families who face poverty and homelessness and that is why we launched our 2013 Christmas Appeal.

Our target is to provide a proper Christmas meal for around 150 local families, who otherwise would go without, as well as gifts for the younger family members. We are also aiming to support seven local charities, who support the homeless and most vulnerable people in society.

[B:f3b9f894]Every penny raised will be spent to support those in need.

The Celtic Supporters Association

The Celtic Supporters Association was the idea of Willie Fanning whose dream became a reality back in September 1944.

These were dark days on and off the pitch with the Second World War still raging and in comparison to those horrors rather more trivialy Celtic were not providing much joy to its supporters and defeat was a regular experience. Indeed the idea of a supporters association came to 27-year-old Willie while watching the Bhoys get thrashed 6-2 at Hamilton.

Willie decided to write to the Daily Record calling on fellow Celtic fans interested in establishing a supporters club to get in touch. A total of 14 people replied. Consequently a meeting was arranged at St Mark's and St Paul's Hall, Chester Street in Shettleston. The meeting proved to be a success - a provisional committee was installed and Willie was elected as President.

By the time of the second meeting at the A.O.H. Hall in Alexandria Parade in Townhead the word had spread. The hall was packed and car loads of supporters from across Glasgow and beyond eager to attend created a traffic jam along the parade.

A constitution was drawn up which allowed the new organosation to become an amalgamation of supporters clubs. Within 12 months membership had rocketed to 700 and the association had won the official endorsement of Celtic FC who handed over the responsibility of distributing match tickets to affiliated branches of the CSA.

The CSA remains a strong and influential body. Apart from following Celtic in massive numbers it has a social club in Glasgow and its annual Supporters Rally is a highlight in the Celtic calendar.

True to the traditions of Celtic FC the CSA also has a proud and continued ethos of raising funds for charity.
