Scotland v Nor. Ireland Match – March 25^th, 2015

TACC were delighted to be able to invite children from Aberlour Childcare Trust Glasgow Youthpoint to their first Scotland match which was the tantalising encounter capped by a 1-0 win, with the goal coming from the unlikely Christophe Berra in the 85^th minute.   

As well as their Scotland tops, £10 spending money and tickets, very kindly provided by SFA/ SSC the kids were chuffed to see their names illuminating the big stadium screen at half time.

We think the outcome of the night is perhaps best summed up in the words of the kids and their guardians for the night.

"Our boys that went along had an absolute ball and are still talking about what a brilliant night they had. Our youngest attendee was just 10 and our eldest, 16. All of them had a wonderful experience, so thank you."

"Thanks to TACC, the young people got an experience that will stay with them for the rest of their lives; their first visit to Scotland's National Stadium, Scotland top on, scarf round the neck and one foot hot dog to keep them warm, all courtesy of TACC. On behalf of those young people, thank you for making it a night to remember."

"These children come from areas of Glasgow that have high levels of poverty and deprivation and we work really hard to give them positive role models, activities and interests – things to divert them away from hanging about on the streets and getting into trouble with the police. Some of these kids have quite chaotic home lives and it’s safe to say they’d be unlikely to get the chance to go and watch their national team play. To have spending money, an evening out and a football top to take home is something very special indeed for them.

“Thank you for giving our young people a very special experience and for all you continue to do for children”.

IRELAND & ENGLAND – “CIRCLE”

Oh what a night! Better still............ two nights!

On two cold nights in November and miles from home (Celtic Park as opposed to Hampden) 10 of Scotland’s youngest fans braved the elements and joined in the fantastic support of their national team. The opposition were Ireland, in what was a crucial Qualifying match for Euro 2016 and the other a simple friendly against them from south of the border.

Most of us remember the excitement of our first match – hope, expectation, bewilderment, amazement, awe, exhilaration, joy......

......TACC had worked with the Circle Charity to enable 10 fabulous kids to attend their First Scotland match and experience the excitement. No idea why Liam might have been apprehensive, standing next to two of Glasgow’s finest – but he met up with Bonnie a bit later and fell in love, so we’re told.

Thanks to our sponsors SFA/SSC, all of the children received tickets for themselves and carer or parent and were wearing their new Scotland tops with £10 pocket money for the game, provided by TACC.

“Good, brilliant, exciting.

Magic to see Scotland –

it was the best”

It’s OK really to have your scarf upside down, especially as the game turned on its head too – I don’t think Che was too bothered, as long as he was waving it.

“Thank you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much – the best experience ever”

Reece even produced a new tactic which we’ve shared with Gordon Strachan and the best way to enjoy half time is with a Hampden pie (some would say!!)

From Circle – “What a fantastic time was had!!! Thank you TACC for the opportunity for some of the children and parents/carers we support to attend their first Scotland match.”

From our footsoldiers-
Elaine – “Fantastic job you guys do. Looks like good fun had by all”
Paige – “Amazing photos and what an amazing job you all do”
Paul – “Great to see the future foot soldiers enjoying themselves”

Thanks to everyone who is able to support us here at TACC to make the lives of our kids here in Scotland that bit special.
