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.
