Aberdeen FC Community Trust

Football cannot solve every problem. But it can ensure that nobody has to face them alone. Football brings people together. We help make that connection beyond the final whistle.

⭐ We would like to wish Glen Cairns good luck ahead of the Celebrate Aberdeen Awards tonight at the Chester Hotel where he is a finalist for Volunteer/Fundraiser of the Year! Glen has been nominated for the award due to his significant donation to AFCCT through the successful 'One Night Under the Heavenly Dancers' campaign which saw Aberdeen FC history brought to life. Good luck Glen and enjoy your evening! 👏
