St Roch’s football club has a long and proud tradition on and off the field. Since its foundation in 1920, beyond its successes on the field, the club has consistently engaged in charitable and good works, supporting local communities, groups and individuals. The St Roch’s FC Charitable Trust has now been set up in order to support and further the excellent work coordinated by the club, allowing St Roch’s FC to focus on winning further success on the park.
The home of St Roch's football club, James McGrory Park, is based in Glasgow's North East which, in terms of both income and employment, is statistically one of the most deprived areas in Glasgow.
The aims of the Charitable Trust are:
to help prevent or relieve the impact of poverty
to help improve both physical and mental health
to help develop the local community and bring a sense of belonging
to increase participation in sport
to provide recreational facilities and organise recreational activities for all members of the community.

Thrilled to receive a donation of £17812 from representatives of Kier Construction and the Scottish Prison Service
This incredible amount of money was raised at a charity golf day organised by the Kier Foundation and held at Gleneagles Golf Course on Friday 3rd October. The proceeds of the event were split between our charity and Action for Children.
We cannot express enough how excited we are to receive this award. This unrestricted income will allow us to support our local community based on real needs. We will be engaging with local residents, partner charities and St Roch's FC to develop ideas and initiatives that genuinely matter to our community. Please contact us with any suggestions.
Kier Construction are currently leading the delivery of the new HMP Glasgow which will be situated very close to the Call Robert Stadium at James McGrory Park.
