Story
The Community Belong aims to provide vulnerable families with the opportunity to attend Raith Rovers FC matches by making them affordable, accessible and appealing.
1 in 4 children in Scotland live in poverty
For some families, attending a football match is a luxury they cannot afford. By providing free tickets, we are breaking down financial barriers and ensuring young people have the opportunity to experience the magic of football.
Imagine the sheer joy, the infectious excitement, the indelible memories that a football match can create for a young heart. The roar of the crowd, the thrill of the game, the sense of belonging to a community united by a love for the beautiful game - these experiences can shape lives and inspire dreams.
Football unites us all, regardless of age, background, or circumstance. By enabling young people to attend matches, we're not just building fans, but nurturing a sense of belonging and unity that extends far beyond the pitch.
Every young fan deserves to cherish the memory of their first live match, the goals, the chants, the atmosphere - your contribution will create lasting memories that they will carry with them throughout their lives.
When young eyes witness the dedication, sportsmanship, and teamwork of their favourite players, they learn valuable life lessons - your donation can help shape these young minds, instilling the values of hard work, perseverance, and fair play.
Children under 12 can attend Raith Rovers FC league matches for free and we want to expand on that to offer potentially vulnerable young people aged 12-16 years free tickets to attend Raith Rovers FC league matches during the 2023-24 season.
Foundation staff will identify appropriate young people using their knowledge of our membership base, as well as linking with local schools and other key partners.
Here's how you can help:
DONATE: Your contribution, no matter the amount, will directly fund free tickets for young fans. Every penny counts.
SPREAD THE WORD: Share this plea with your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can create a ripple effect of generosity.
VOLUNTEER: Consider volunteering your time or skills to support the campaign. We welcome your expertise and enthusiasm.
ATTEND MATCHES: Join us at Raith Rovers FC matches, and witness firsthand the impact of your support.
Your donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference in the lives of young people. It's an investment in the future of our community, our club, and the beautiful game itself.
Thank you.
