Hibernian Community Foundation
What We Do
Our work very much reflects the values of the club when it was first formed.
That is, when the club was formed by the Catholic Young Men’s Society in 1875, it would use funds raised from games to support the local community. And these values are alive today in the community foundation as they were 150 years ago.
Broadly, we work in two areas:
Grassroots Football
Organising football for all in our community, from recreational to national performance teams. This includes our boys, girls’ and women’s academies, pre-school and school programmes, holiday camps and football for particular groups in the community: those who are disabled and/or have special needs, over 55s, and refugee and immigrant communities.
Community Outreach
Developing initiatives that offer practical help to those who most need it. We provide hot meals and a warm, inviting space to anyone and everyone who can benefit from it. We work with a range of community groups, charities and foodbanks in the central, north and east sides of Edinburgh, many of whom refer people to us. But we do a lot more too. We organise keep fit classes, a community choir, social clubs for young people, the elderly and refugee community, provide computer and online access, and adult learning opportunities.
