Celtic’s commitment to community welfare is strongly supported by Chief Executives Tony Hamilton and Michael Nicholson, who emphasize the Foundation’s critical role in supporting families, the elderly, and young children through difficult times. Celtic fans, partners, and volunteers play an essential part in making the Appeal a success each year, helping to bring joy and assistance to those in need.
