Charitable Status

Queen’s Park FC Foundation is an OSCR Registered Charity – SC0151725

Being an OSCR Registered Charity allows us to be legally recognised, legal protections, and transparency. Being a member of OSCR helps us to apply for funding from both small and large funders and many in-between who require OSCR registrations. 

The Foundation, based in Glasgow’s Southside, is an anti-poverty charity dedicated to enhancing lives through football. It supports local people in leading healthier, happier lives by fostering active lifestyles, interconnected communities, and lifelong learning. The Foundation focuses on marginalised and minoritised young people and those in deprived areas, tackling both immediate and systemic poverty. It aids students with education challenges and job seekers with skill development, assists low-income families with resources, and promotes diverse, respectful communities. It offers inclusive physical activities and accessible learning, empowering community members to challenge prejudices and contribute to personal and communal growth. 

The Foundation is operated independently of the Club with it’s own board of directors, governance, and finance but will work hand in hand with the club to maximise benefit to local people.
