WITH Christmas less than seven weeks away, the Christmas shopping frenzy is now in full swing, as many of us aim to find the ideal gifts for our friends and family.

Celtic FC Foundation are once again offering the perfect opportunity for fans to support our 2019 Christmas Appeal while doing your Christmas shopping this festive season, via Give as you Live or AmazonSmile.

Give as you Live is an online fundraising platform allowing users to shop at over 4,300 top stores and raise free funds for charity. It operates by donating a percentage of your transaction to your selected charity at absolutely no extra cost to you. There really is no easier way to support Celtic FC Foundation for free, when buying your Christmas presents online this year.

In recent years, Give as you Live has helped us raise over £162,000 by assisting supporters to shop, order and fundraise online.

Or why not donate via AmazonSmile, a simple and automatic way for you to support a charity of your choice every time you shop. The website is operated by Amazon with the same products, prices and shopping features as Amazon.co.uk.

Through our Christmas Appeal, we aim to honour the founding principles set out when the club was formed in 1887, by continuing to help those in our community, who are most in need.

We want to help hundreds of local families facing poverty by giving them the kind of Christmas we all take for granted.

We also want to support pensioners on our doorstep and help out local charities. We can make a massive difference to the lives of children, the homeless, refugees and those living in refuge or facing other challenges.

Christmas is a time to give and share. And the Glasgow Celtic will be there.
