Southampton Football Club’s official charity, Saints Foundation, has announced the signing of Red Funnel to support the charity as a Premium Patron.
Red Funnel’s proud support of Saints Foundation represents the latest step in its continued commitment to the communities it serves through its ESG initiative, Changing Tides, launched in 2023.
Saints Foundation is dedicated to supporting individuals in need throughout Southampton, with a mission to inspire, support, and deliver positive change and equality of opportunity for young people and adults at risk across Southampton, focussing on motivating people to live healthy, active lives.
Collins: We look forward to starting this journey together
Fran Collins, CEO of Red Funnel, said,
“At Red Funnel, we are incredibly proud to become a Patron of Saints Foundation and support the work they deliver in Southampton.
“Saints have been a focal part of the city since 1885 and Red Funnel’s own history stretches even further to 1861, so partnering with the Club’s charity seems long overdue and something we’re really excited about.
“We look forward to starting this journey together and supporting some really exciting projects this side of the Solent.”
Bhatti: Shows the depth of their commitment to Southampton
Said Jazz Bhatti, Head of Partnerships and Business Development, Southampton FC,
“Saints Foundation works at the heart of the community in the city to help those who need it most to reach their full potential.
“Red Funnel joining as a Premium Patron shows the depth of their commitment to Southampton, and we massively appreciate their support of our work.”
Red Funnel’s very own legend and long-time enthusiastic Saints fan Jim ‘the Dancing Man’ O’Reilly notably attended the official certificate presentation at Red Funnel’s office on 28th January.
Jim is a familiar and favourite face among Red Funnel customers, whose votes helped earn him the title of Visit England Tourism Superstar back in 2018.
