CEO CHRISTMAS MESSAGE

I wanted to take time to write to all the Trust supporters and wish them all a happy holiday season.

As we approach the end of another incredible year at Saints in the Community, I want to express my gratitude to our supporters, staff, and volunteers for their hard work, expertise, and laughter throughout the year. Your dedication makes everything we achieve possible.

I also extend my thanks to the players and staff at St. Johnstone Football Club for their invaluable help and support. Together, we’ve made a life-changing impact across Perth and Kinross.

This year, we’ve been privileged to welcome over 21,000 participants across 50 distinct projects. To everyone—especially the children and families—who attended and contributed to our programmes, thank you. I’m continually impressed by the breadth of our reach and the difference we make in communities across Perth & Kinross. Having joined the Trust just four months ago, I already feel incredibly proud and privileged to be part of such an amazing team.

In the lead-up to Christmas, we’ve hosted a range of heart-warming events, including Festive Friends, Breakfast With Santa, and LEGO Clubs – each being surprised by visits from St Johnstone FC players. The joy and sense of community these events brought was truly uplifting.

The festive season is a time for family, friends, and reflection. It’s also an opportunity to think about how we can continue to make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities. As we move into the new year, we remain committed to supporting even more people across Perth and Kinross.

A heartfelt thank you to our funders, sponsors, and everyone who has supported us this year. Your kindness and generosity have been instrumental in everything we’ve achieved.
