Our 2024 Festive Friends programme got underway yesterday with a fantastic Christmas lunch at the stadium.

Festive Friends, in conjunction with the SPFL Trust and Airdrie Community Trust, is our annual project to reach out to the local community at Christmas time.

The Christmas lunch is always a highlight of the programme, and once again a number of local residents were treated to a delicious lunch courtesy of club partners Big Bite Catering, and were entertained by the wonderful pupils of Hilltop Primary School.

As well as the lunch, Community Trust helpers were also busy making up Christmas boxes which will be delivered around the area in the coming days, and a donation of toys and other gift was made to Sharon Craig of the Craigneuk Community Group in order to brighten up the Christmases of some more young local residents!

Our thanks go to Big Bite Catering, Hilltop Primary School, and all of our helpers from the club, stadium, and Community Trust – once again a magical time was had by all!
