St Mirren donated family season tickets to families from Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan and Kurdistan and through the club the families have found friendship and happiness.
St Mirren teamed up with Serve 2020, a community group who support refugee families. St Mirren donated family season tickets to Serve 2020 group members with each parent, child and family member delighted for the opportunity to experience a football game.
Through the donated St Mirren family season tickets, families made the local trip to SMiSA Stadium and thoroughly enjoyed the match day atmosphere. Serve 2020’s involvement with our friendly and welcoming club has paved the way for families to establish a connection to their new hometown of Paisley and join the collective excitement of supporting the Saints alongside other families.
The children coming along to the matches proudly paint the club badge on their face, happily receive good bags and get involved with the panda games. Their reading and writing skills have also strengthened as they have created biographies of their favourite St Mirren players.
The love for spending time at St Mirren’s SMiSA Stadium has led to an overall interest in Scottish Football with families arranging a visit to Hampden Park Stadium and Museum Tour to increase their football knowledge.
It is extremely humbling that throughout a challenging time in their lives, families have found joy and friendship in our club.
