Erskine Park Home have just sent me a couple of photos of Veterans John and Charlie at last week's game.

As you can see, when Erskine go anywhere, they get there early - that's how you win wars.

 

 

John and Charlie, and the other Erskine Park Bears, are delighted that we've renewed their season tickets again this season.

And here they are telling John Greig all about it...

Eagle-eyed Fund members may recognise the item John Greig is holding.

Remember these?... 

 

Just one of the many items we've contributed to the Erskine Park Sporting Memories Room (or The Blue Room as it's more commonly known internally.  )

These donations mean so much to so many from the few, to kind of paraphrase someone. 

Well done GB and the  team. 

Please give what you can troops.

Can someone fill me in on this group? What does the group do and why would I join?

 

Just trying to get some info. Thanks in advance!

Did you get the info you needed?

If not, there's more history in this thread...

http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/topic/251249-rangersmedia-sponsors’-fund-what-exactly-is-it/

 

And a "tag-search" for "rm erskine fund" will give you lots of other threads relating to what we do with our Members' donations.

http://forum.rangersmedia.co.uk/search/?tags=rm erskine fund&sortby=relevancy

And as for why should you join?  There are literally dozens of reasons for joining, and no good reasons for not joining.  Just ask any of last season's 200 members - they're all queuing up to do the same again this season.

4.  By PayPal - PM me and I will give you the Fund email address to make the PayPal payment to.  (Note: PayPal will deduct a fee from every donation, even if you tick "gift", so this is the least preferred method)

http://rangerscharity.org.uk/news/foundation-helps-fund-minibus-for-erskine-residents

Lee Hodson today welcomed Erskine residents to the Rangers Training Centre in their new minibus which the Rangers Charity Foundation helped to fund via its Armed Forces Partnership.

The Foundation donated £10,000 to Erskine as part of a wider initiative which saw it pledge £25,000 to services-related charities this season. 

The new minibus, which has been specially adapted to cater for the often complex health issues of the residents, will allow them to take part in day trips and other outings to help them enjoy a full, active and meaningful life. 

Erskine is Scotland’s foremost provider of care for veterans and their spouses, offering unrivalled nursing, residential, respite and dementia care in four homes throughout Scotland. The Rangers Charity Foundation has a long history of supporting Erskine, having previously donated to projects such as the Centenary Garden, electric profile beds for residents and refurbishing the Royal Scots Shop.

Lee Hodson commented: “It was great to welcome the Erskine residents up to the Training Ground today in their new minibus, which I believe is the vehicle that will be used to bring them along to Ibrox for games. Thank you to all the fans who helped the Rangers Charity Foundation raise this money for such a worthwhile cause.”

Robert Swan, Transport Manager at Erskine said: “This new VW Transporter is a great addition to our fleet of vehicles at Erskine. As it takes two wheelchairs it will be perfect when taking a couple of residents to hospital appointments. We will also use it frequently to take residents to football matches and to fulfil veterans’ wishes where they have a specific request about a day trip they would like to go on. It will be a real asset to our veterans and we thank the Rangers Charity Foundation very much for their kind donation.”

Connal Cochrane, Director of the Rangers Charity Foundation, will undertake a personal challenge walking the Great Glen next month in support of the Foundation’s Armed Forces Partnership.  

He commented: “Signing up to the Armed Forces Covenant last year really cemented our ongoing support for both serving personnel and veterans and this should be a source of pride for all our supporters.

“A long standing commitment to the wonderful work of Erskine is very much a part of this and it is a real pleasure for us to see the minibus which our donation has helped make possible. I hope it will provide many years of memorable experiences for Erskine residents.”

The Foundation also plans donations of £5,000 to Poppyscotland, The Rifles Regimental Trust’s Care For Casualties appeal and Combat Stress as part of its Armed Forces Partnership.

 

@K.A.I - give this a like!

[govanblue 16,847]

I see we have 84 Members donated, and 84 members Pledged to donate, but not yet donated.

Which seems a good time for an update...

 

The money raised from the 84 members so far is:

£2750.99

Which was enough to pay the £2310 for our 8 Season Ticket Renewals and leave us with £440.99

And so now it's up to you remaining 84 Pledged Members (plus lots of New Members Pledging would be nice too!!!) to get your donations in.  

Anything else we do this season (and we plan to do lots!!!) will be down to you guys (although you can expect reinforcements in November).
