LAST week marked 130 years since Brother Walfrid established Celtic Football Club, and to honour the occasion, Celtic FC Foundation took a closer look at another remnant of our founder’s legacy – Breaking Barriers in East London.
In 1893, Brother Walfrid, departed one city’s East End for another as his Marist calling took him from Glasgow to the London borough of Tower Hamlets. In 19th century Whitechapel, Brother Walfrid’s purpose – as it had been in Glasgow - was to alleviate the horrors of destitution, want and squalor.
Now, in the 21st century, Celtic FC Foundation proudly continues Brother Walfrid’s legacy through our Breaking Barriers project.
Established in 2014 following a series of pilot projects, Breaking Barriers is delivered in partnership alongside Active Communities Network and Poplar HARCA, with funding made available from the Big Lottery Fund England.
