Hibs’ charity launch ticket appeal for NHS workers to attend home games
The Hibernian Community Foundation, working together with
Hibernian Football Club and NHS Lothian, are developing a raft of projects and
activities designed to tackle some of the health and social issues faced in the
wake of the COVID 19 pandemic.
These include reducing food poverty by helping to feed families living in deprivation, reducing social isolation in older people affected by the pandemic, and working with young people to support their mental wellbeing in the face of such traumatic times.

With this in mind Hibs and the Foundation together have
launched a Ticket Appeal which will
allow the club to invite hundreds of the workers on the front line who have kept
essential services going throughout the pandemic to every home game for the new
season ahead.
This will give them a respite from their work but also to
allow the Hibernian family to express their thanks from within a packed Easter
Road.
To get the ball
rolling the club is putting up the first 100 tickets for each match.
Anyone can play their part in this now by donating whatever you can to the Ticket Appeal and please remember to tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK taxpayer.
