Hibs’ charity wants to engage with fans on future work

Hibernian Community Foundation is the charitable arm of the Club established in 2008 to use football and the brand name  to improve people’s lives across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Despite being a wealthy City, Edinburgh contains significant
areas of deprivation. In Leith 34% of children live in relative poverty, well
above the City average of 23% and childhood obesity rates are in excess of 20%.

The Foundation works hard to alleviate deprivation in
Edinburgh across a number of key areas, working with all sections of the
community, and all ages.

The Foundation is now keen to engage with Hibs supporters
and tap into their experience of living in local communities to let them understand
local need better.

This will help them identify the types of projects they
should be delivering.

In addition the charity want to provide opportunities for
fans to become directly involved in Foundations activities through, for
example, volunteering in programmes and/or fundraising.

The survey can be taken on the Foundations’ website.

The Foundation will publish the results of the survey in mid
November.
