This week, more than 200 local Primary 5 pupils from four East End schools – Alexandra Parade, St Anne’s, St Paul’s and Thorntree – enjoyed a memorable visit to Celtic Park, as Celtic FC Foundation hosted its annual Christmas party with some special guests in attendance. The children were treated to a festive lunch, party games, a disco and visits from Hoopy the Huddle Hound and Santa Claus, who provided gifts for every child in attendance. Face painters were also on hand, decorating the children with Celtic-themed and football-inspired designs, adding to the lively atmosphere throughout the day. And there was also a surprise appearance from Celtic stars Cameron Carter-Vickers and Callum Osmand, who took time out to visit the pupils and pose for photographs, creating unforgettable moments for the children. USA international, Cameron Carter-Vickers spoke to Celtic TV adding: “It was a great event and you can see everyone was having a really good time. It was nice to be there and help spread some Christmas joy. Football is all about bringing people together, so visits like this are really special.” A teacher from St Paul’s Primary School also spoke of the impact of the event, saying: “Days like this are absolutely fabulous for the kids. Many don’t get opportunities like this, so these are the memories they’ll carry with them for many years. “It’s a fantastic example of the brilliant work the Foundation does across the East End, giving children a really special day to remember.”
