Hibernian Community Foundation Matchday this Saturday!

There will be a special spotlight on the Hibernian Community Foundation ahead of this weekend’s game against St Mirren!

In the build-up to Saturday’s game, we will be shining a light on the fantastic work the Hibernian Community Foundation (HCF) does in the local community, and on matchday supporters will be able to see some of that first-hand.

When Hibernian Football Club was formed in 1875, the funds raised from games were used to support the local community through clothes, food and shelter. This work is continued by HCF today, keeping values alive that were born almost 150 years ago. 

Since then, HCF has worked to support the Leith and Edinburgh area through community outreach and grassroots football programmes. Last year alone, the Community Foundation provided over 13,000 community meals and held over 3,000 outreach sessions, touching lives across all ages and backgrounds. 

From football academies to social clubs, fitness classes, and community meals, the Foundation fosters a sense of belonging and well-being for all. 

On Saturday, there’s a number of ways supporters can back the Hibernian Community Foundation:

Cosy Coat Collection

HCF will be collecting winter coats and jackets at the entrance to the Community Hub, next to the club shop on Albion Place. These will be donated to those in our community who need the extra warmth as we approach the colder months.  

HCF Community Choir

The community choir will be performing a range of their hits outside of the West Stand from 2-2.45pm. 

Donate at the Hibs Club Shop or Through Ticket Purchase

You can round your purchase up by £1 at the Hibs club shop if you are in the store purchasing from the most recent range. You can also donate to HCF when purchasing a match ticket for Saturday’s game.

HCF Soup Donation

Look out for our servers around Easter Road to pick up some free soup!

Happy Hibee Draw

As always is the case on home matchdays the Happy Hibee draw will take place, with vendors across the stands in Easter Road. Buy a ticket to support the foundation and have a chance to win the jackpot!
