Katie’s Celtic Wish Comes True

When Katie added her wish to the Forbes House Wishing Tree, there was only ever going to be one choice, to see her beloved Celtic play live.

With the support of the whole Forbes team, that wish became reality. And it didn’t stop there; Katie has already been back to matches, with more trips planned.

This is exactly what the Wishing Tree is all about: creating moments that last. Well done to everyone at Forbes House for making it happen!

As soon as Katie placed her wish on the tree, the Forbes team set to work. With everyone from management, activities and care staff all pulling together, it wasn’t long before she had tickets to see Celtic face Newcastle at Celtic Park.
