The donation will be distributed across multiple organizations, including:
* **Shelter Scotland** and **Simon Community Northern Ireland** (for homelessness support),
* **Celtic FC Foundation** (the club’s charitable arm),
* **Feeding Britain**, and
* Mental health initiatives for at-risk youth in Glasgow and Belfast.
Celtic FC praised their manager’s decision, calling it “a reflection of the values that define our club and our community.” Club chairman Peter Lawwell added, *“Brendan leads with compassion as well as vision. His generosity is nothing short of inspirational.”*
Fans across social media have expressed admiration and gratitude, hailing Rodgers as a true role model both on and off the pitch.
