Kicks for Kids Fund 16-17 *47 New Tickets Bought*

[FranckSuzy]

16858


In June 2013, the fund 'Leith Links' was established to welcome more children into our family who wouldn't normally be able to attend games. The name for the fund came from the area near Easter Road but it also means links to Leith, our home. Little did we imagine that only two weeks ago, we would witness the greatest day in our proud history and that we would then congregate on said area of park to hail our all-conquering heroes http://www.hibs.net/images/smilies/not%20worthy.gif

Since our inception, Hibs fans have raised over £33,000 to help children less fortunate and over £750 has been donated since our historic Scottish Cup win (I'll never tire of saying that!) alone :thumbsup: The number of Kicks for Kids season tickets purchased has increased from 22 in season 13/14, to 146 in 14/15 to finally 152 in 15/16 which is remarkable! Therefore, we are keen to ensure that many, many young Hibbies are able to attend games at Easter Road, join our family and experience 'Life With Hibs' so we would like to invite you - if able - to participate in next season's fundraising campaign.

If you would like to contribute - and no matter how small the donation is - it will be gratefully received. Payment can be made on a one-off basis by PayPal (the a/c name is leithlinks@live.co.uk), bank transfer, cheque, cash or if you are able, by monthly Standing Order or Direct Debit. For example, £6.25 per month will purchase one Kicks for Kids season ticket outright but any amount is welcome. Please PM me or email leithlinks@live.co.uk (leithlinks@live.co.uk) for more details. Contributors can also nominate specific *groups who they think would benefit from tickets and Hibs will contact them.

There are many, many people I would like to thank for their support as this wonderful, Hibby success story would be nothing without our fans. To everyone who has provided assistance, items for auction, financial backing or words of encouragement - I am extremely grateful. Thanks to everyone on hibs.net also for allowing the fundraisers and for continually backing the cause. Hibs class indeed. GGTTH

*Thank you letters from the charities and groups who have previously received KfK tickets can be found here: http://leithlinks4kids.com/social-media/feedback/ (http://leithlinks4kids.com/social-media/feedback/)

[Pretty Boy]

Just in follow up to Suzy post above I'd like to extend a massive thank you from all the admin team at hibs.net for the continued support shown to Leith Links.

As a site we first started buying KfKs tickets a few years back and the support we received was absolutely brilliant. In the last couple of years we have encouraged people to donate what they previously gave to us to Leith Links.

Far be it for me to tell anyone how to spend their money but even the smallest donation helps gets more money into the club, helps a child who otherwise wouldn't get to a game to attend and helps nurture the next generation of Hibs fans.

Again thanks to all who have donated in the past. Kicks for Kids is a fantastic initiative from the club and Leith Links is a great way for money to be pooled to have a big impact on some childrens lives

£25 sent, Susan. If a couple a couple of other .netters could do the same, there's a ticket bought for a young Hibby next season :agree:

I'm assuming the difference is money built up during the season from direct debits (http://leithlinks4kids.com/ways-to-donate/bank-transfer-2/) and other fundraising?

Direct debits (http://leithlinks4kids.com/ways-to-donate/bank-transfer-2/) are a great way to spread the cost of donating.

:agree: and also things like the recent raffle of a 0-7 programme and one-off donations. For example, a group of guys I know gave me £325 on 21/5/16 from their betting syndicate :not worth

Re Direct Debits, £6.25 will purchase a Kicks for Kids season ticket outright but any amount is welcome :aok:

It's much appreciated and the donations received from overseas Hibees have been so generous. Now every single one of you can feel proud of being part of the campaign to beat the 10,000 ST total :not worth

[cocteautwin]

Being based overseas for the past 20 years I've always wondered how I could help the club aside from buying the occasional item in the shop. This looks like a great way to get some new supporters so I've just added 2 season tickets to your total. Best of luck with the campaign.

You should set a Leanne style target, Suzy. Would it be worth handing out leaflets at the first few home games?

A target is not a bad shout, to be fair :aok: I would have been happy just to beat last year's total (152), as that was amazing amount, but it now looks as though we'll smash that comfortably as I have enough for 149 already, with at least a couple of thousand pounds still to come in :not worth

Right, let's aim for 200 Kicks for Kids season tickets for 16/17, how does that sound? :thumbsup:

Re leaflets, I am waiting to hear back from Sue @ Hibs re distributing all of these lovely tickets so I'll make sure the office staff can cope first then take it from there :agree:

Nice article, and hopefully will attract even more support for a very worthwhile cause.

[FranckSuzy]

Suzy, will you be buying more seasons for the children before the start of the season? I've just had a DD deducted, with one more pre season to add to the pot.

Also, did you hear from http://www.youngcarers.org.uk/?

Cheers, I

I most certainly will be :thumbsup:

Thanks very much for your ongoing support, it is much appreciated :not worth

I haven't hear from the group but I will give Hibs their details :aok:

Another email was received today, advising how much a young person enjoyed going to a game :thumbsup:

"I am writing from Stepping Stones North Edinburgh, a charity supporting families in the north of Edinburgh. We have recently been allocated tickets to the Hibs Home games for our families and volunteers.


We were able to give a family a set of tickets to the Ayr United Game, and the reports I got back were amazing. It was the first time, an 11 year old boy and a life long hibs fan had ever been to a live match. I spoke with him yesterday and he was ecstatic and said it was one of the best days ever (even though Hibs lost). This family have limited income and are unable to buy tickets to things like football games and do not often get to spend quality time together.


I just wanted to thank you on behalf of this family for the tickets, it really does and will continue to make a huge difference to our families".

A 3 and half year old girl:


'I went with mummy to see Hibees, I cheered and cheered and cheered and I clapped when they scored a goal. We had lots of fun'.

An 8 year old boy:

"I write to thank you for your donation of Hibernian football match tickets via the Hibernian Community Foundation.

I work for Action for Children’s EH1 service, which supports vulnerable children and young people in care across Edinburgh, and aims to stop them progressing further into the care system and instead work towards more positive destinations.

EH1 is provided a number of tickets for each home game by the Foundation, allowing vulnerable young people in care to attend these matches where they would usually not have the opportunity to do so. Your donation of tickets has allowed a number of our young people to attend games alongside staff and volunteers - opportunities which they have greatly valued and benefited from.

We thank you for your ongoing support and the opportunities you continue to afford our young people".


"Hi, I just want to say a massive thank you for giving me, my carer and my foster brother the opportunity to let us go to the Hibernian VS Falkirk match. It was a fantastic experience, being there was amazing with an incredible atmosphere with a crowd over 14,500.

Once again thank you very much for giving us these tickets, it was brilliant day".

He was particularly pleased when he saw that the Hibs Goalkeeper was wearing number 31 as this is the number of his shirt with his football team and he told me this is the number that all the best Goalkeepers wear. He really enjoyed watching the match and comparing what the Goalkeepers were doing compared to how he plays. It was a fantastic experience for him and I really appreciate having had the opportunity to take him along".

Another two lovely 'thank you' letters were received today:thumbsup:

"Hi, I adore Hibs and my favourite player is John Mcginn because he is nice looking. I love to go to Hibs games because I like to see them win and to be here to support my favourite team. I will always support them for ever. Thank you for donating tickets to let me go to a game with my worker and see my favourite team play".

That's nice. Thanks for sharing.

That's nice. Thanks for sharing.
Would it be possible to have a collection before a home game....sure it would be well received.

Sorry, I've just seen this and it is something I've considered but TBH, the donations are more than enough at that moment and WHEN we go up, the Club might just have to put a limit on the number of KfK tickets available due to the increase in ST sales :pray: :thumbsup:

Some more lovely 'thank you' letters were received today :not worth


"On behalf of Recovery Kidz, I would like to thank you so very much for donating Hibs home league games tickets.
So far, as a result of these tickets, we have been able to make three Recovery Kidz and Hibs supporter families very happy!
I note below some of their thanks and comments.


"Hi there i just wanted to say thank you so much!!!!!! The kids had such a good time and there dad enjoyed the time with his daughters it was the first time the girls had been to a football game and thanks to yourselves and the kind people who donated the tickets they had good seats and i was really surprises to see the kids enjoy themselves so much. I think that recovery kids and the people who donate these things should know that they are making a great difference to familys that cant afford to let there kids have these experiences so thank you from me and the rest of the family xxxx"

"O's first Hibs match, she has a scarf and hibs top... she's one of our own, We had a fantastic time, thank you so much."



"Hi there,



I wanted to write an e-mail on behalf of a family who I spoke with yesterday who have been in receipt of the tickets to hibs matches [via Stepping Stones North Edinburgh].



A father of 3 girls, who has a huge love of football, who unfortunately hasn't been able to take them, or go himself due to personal reasons and finance, has been able to reengage with the game and bring his daughter. His wife, reports that his mood has lifted because of this, and he's really happy to be able to go to games again.


This is great progress for this family, and I really wanted to thank you personally".

Heart warming stuff. Going to the games with our families is a major part of so many of our lives and we can maybe take it for granted at times. I know how special it is for my own family.
Fantastic to hear of the positive impact going to the games is having on families who otherwise wouldn't be able to experience supporting the Hibees together.

GGTTH.

GGTTH.very true. I am fortunately able to take my wee granddaughter to games like tomorrow, but when you look at the cost involved to some it can be out of reach if they have 2 or 3 kids to support and other possible financial problems etc. I am delighted to read some of the responses Susan has had and she is doing an absolutely great job.:not worth

Spot on. Well done Susan.
Here's to a win today for the boys.

[BSEJVT]

Its great to see that your efforts bring such happiness to people Suzy

Btw folks did you know that sponsoring a kfk ticket costs as little as £6.25 per month

I know there are huge demands on everyone's finances not least from Hibs and HSL but I would encourage those of you who can spare that £6.25 per month to do so

I received another 'thank you' today but unfortunately, they didn't say which group it was from :aok:

"Please accept our sincere thanks for your kind donation of Hibs tickets, they put a smile on little faces" :thumbsup:

[FranckSuzy]

Two more lovely emails were received today:

"Just an e-mail to say thank you very much for the recent tickets to take L to the Hibs game.

He had a great time. The sun came out just as we arrived at the stadium to watch the players warm up and he was able to get lots of ideas for training drills that we have gone out to the park together and tried out. He also really enjoyed the match and joined in with some of the crowds chanting.

The tickets were very much appreciated and I just wanted to pass my thanks on to the people who have made this possible".


"Thank you for the 6 tickets Kicks for Kids donated to Kinsfolk Carers Edinburgh so far this year.

The families are really enjoying going to the games. The kids are eager to attend and look forward to each game. Feedback from the adults has been great. Thanks again".

Thanks very much CoG :aok:

The KfK tickets are for section 37 (IIRC) in the East and are used at every home game.

I am meeting with Leeann in the near future to discuss the future of KfK but I would hope the scheme would continue in its present form. I will advise ASAP though so we can get the 17/18 fundraising campaign started :thumbsup:

For some reason I thought they were for the FF stand.

Hopefully something similar can be sorted for 2017 / 2018. Good luck!

Yet another lovely 'thank you' was received today, this time from the Canongate Youth Project :thumbsup:

"I would like to thank you once again for your involvement in the Kick’s for Kids initiative. Our families, and especially local children have benefited hugely from this. In particular, we have one local dad who is often allocated the tickets as he takes along other people’s kids who most definitely would not have the opportunity to go to see a professional football match were it not for this programme and the kindness and patience of this man. He allows us to spread this initiative further. The kids absolutely love it and it provides them with a really exciting day and has fostered a great interest in football amongst younger boys and girls.

Thank you again!"

Another couple of lovely 'thank you' emails were received today :thumbsup:

"I write with a huge thank you on behalf of DadsWork and our beneficiaries who this season have attended games and absolutely have been delighted with the opportunities they have been given to attend. We have had some families who have never attended a football match before, new Hibs supporters created and most importantly opportunities for families to attend games otherwise outwith their reach due to cost or many other barriers. I thank you both hugely for giving our charity these opportunities to offer our families who have had some wonderful memories this season.

Please pass on this gratitude to all the supporters who make these opportunities available to charities and it benefactors".


"Thank you so much for the 6 tickets Kicks for Kids donated to Kinsfolk Carers.

What a fantastic season Hibs have had. Both the kids and adults have really enjoyed coming along to watch the games. May the 6th was such an emotional day, watching the presentations, joining in the celebrations plus the weather was amazing. Many memories have been made and shared. Fantastic.

Thanks again".

Am I correct that Leith Links is coming up for its fourth anniversary?

If so, that's a lot of kids who have been able to see us play, so well done.
