Kindred strengthens partnership with Rangers FC

Kindred has renewed its investment in Rangers Charity Foundation’s mental health project ‘Team Talk’, which has already helped numerous of men across Glasgow to seek advice, help and encouragement to discuss their mental health, thanks to initial funding received from Kindred last year.

Kindred Group also donated its front-of-shirt sponsorship to the ‘Team Talk’ project’s logo. The shirts will be worn for the semi-final at RB Leipzig on Thursday 28th April, and if Rangers progress to the final they will be worn again in May. “The investment we are announcing today means Rangers Charity Foundation can continue the fantastic progress it made during the first year of the project. Using the unique relationship supporters have with their local club, we hope to reach hundreds more men with the expanded mental health support services who would otherwise be suffering in silence”, said Neil Banbury, General Manager UK, Kindred Group, which is committed to transform gambling by being a trusted source of entertainment that contributes positively to society and has set an ambition to reach zero per cent revenue from harmful gambling by 2023. And to report this metric on a quarterly basis.

“The investment from Kindred Group has already been fantastic for our Team Talk project. It is the first time one of the Club’s main sponsors has made such a significant and targeted investment in the local community. We know talking can save lives and we can now extend the program for another year, building on the success it had last year. This will allow existing and new participants to attend our weekly program which has already had tangible benefit for their mental health and wellbeing and allowed the group to start forming connections with each other as well as be supported by our staff in a safe space”, added Connal Cochrane, Director at the Rangers Foundation.
