The Rangers Charity Foundation has a long and proud tradition of working with services related charities and was a joint signatory, along with the Club, to the Armed Forces Covenant in 2016.

We went on to become the first club and club charity in the UK to receive the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme’s Gold Award from the Ministry of Defence in 2019.

The Foundation has donated over £284,000 in cash to armed forces and veterans’ charities to date, as well as significant in-kind support.  Donations have included over £57,000 to veterans’ charity Erskine, £40,000 to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity and over £172,000 to Poppyscotland, as well as smaller donations to many others such as Combat Stress, SSAFA, The Coming Home Centre and AA Veterans Support.

Our Armed Forces Fund selects services-related charities to work with each season and for season 2025/26 the Foundation donated £10,000 to support the work of Poppyscotland and Veterans Housing Scotland.

Veterans Housing Scotland

Founded in 1915, Veterans Housing Scotland has provided homes for disabled veterans and their families for more than 110 years. Today, they manage more than 620 affordable homes across Scotland, helping former servicemen and women who are now disabled, and their families, live independently, securely, and with dignity.

Veterans Housing Scotland doesn’t just provide homes. The charity’s dedicated staff and partners help veterans sustain their tenancies, access financial and welfare advice, improve their wellbeing and remain connected to their communities.

Proud to Support The Armed Forces Covenant 

The Rangers Charity Foundation was a joint signatory, along with the Club, to the Armed Forces Covenant in 2016.  As well as significant donations to armed forces and veterans’ charities to date and in-kind support such as can collections and signed merchandise, the Club and Foundation also donate tickets for veterans.

Serving personnel are also able to buy tickets for home league fixtures at a reduced price (subject to availability) and the Foundation has run a range of free community programmes for veterans.

The Club and Foundation organises an annual Armed Forces Day celebration in the presence of 50,000 supporters at Ibrox Stadium, and an annual event to mark Remembrance Day.

We also advocate for the Armed Forces Covenant with our corporate clients and business partners, operate positive policies in the workplace for veterans, reservists and their families and support various military sport initiatives.

This type of support for the services earned the Club and Foundation an Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme’s Gold Award from the Ministry of Defence in 2019, becoming the first club and club charity in the UK to win the award.
