The Rangers Charity Foundation has today launched its Annual Review, celebrating a year of impactful community work, charitable giving, and life-changing partnerships that have made a real difference across Glasgow, Scotland, and beyond.

The review offers a comprehensive look at the Foundation’s work over the past 12 months, showcasing the powerful impact of its initiatives in areas such as health and wellbeing, education and employment, social inclusion, and support for children and families. It also highlights the generosity of Rangers supporters, whose continued backing has helped raise over £520,000 this year alone for our charitable and community work.

From delivering critical mental health and wellbeing programmes to supporting hundreds of young people as they re-engage in education or get their first jobs, the Foundation has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to being a force for good off the pitch.

As always, the Rangers Family has shown us an incredible amount of support, attending our fundraising events, taking on personal challenges, volunteering, purchasing exclusive Foundation merchandise and taking part in our auctions and raffles.
