Please click here to view the letters received by Leith Links so far. Unfortunately, despite being asked by Hibs to do so, not every place sends an update....

This is a list of the clubs/organisations who received KfK tickets from Leith Links this season:

Kids in Care - 2 tickets
Maggies Centre - 2
St. Ninian's Youth Club - 2
Bingham Community Centre - 2
Multi Cultural Family Base - 6 (4 full and 2 half STs)
Pentland Community Centre - 4
Richmond's Hope Children's Counselling Centre - 2
Canongate Youth Project - 2

The majority of these places were suggested by Hibbies who have donated and they are either close to their heart or house/place they grew up :aok: That is the beauty of this scheme, IMHO :agree:

That's another two .netters signed up to a Direct Debit and enough for 18 tickets donated, so far! :thumbsup: GGTTH.

Well done to both. A few quid a month to let these kids get to games and swell the numbers in attendance :thumbsup:

:aok: It's my pleasure and it would not have been possible without the generosity of the Hibs family. GGTTH.

Good to see that Leith Links is doing well. It's an excellent way to help both the club and young fans.

Not yet but if you know of any who could use tickets then let me know.

Edit: Sorry, I should have said that no tickets from Leith Links have gone to a club or organisation in EL but I am unsure about the situation with the wider Kicks for Kids initiative. I could ask Sue Mclernon at Hibs, if you'd like?

Thanks to a very generous poster, we've now raised enough to purchase 21 tickets :thumbsup: The admins will update the title when they get a mo'.

:aok:

Thread hijack/kinda linked. Danny Bhoy's doing 12 shows in the fringe for 12 charities, one of which will be MCFB who LL support.

https://www.facebook.com/DannyBhoy/p...52756055547119

Tickets go on sale this week for some, but having heard the work MCFB do and how little some of these children have it would be another way to support the children at MCFB.

(Hope it's ok to have posted this on here)

Thanks, C :aok:

"The Multi-Cultural Family Base provides a range of therapeutic services to children and families across the City of Edinburgh. We work with children of all ages from ‘hard to reach’ communities; with families who are recent migrants to Scotland as well as children and young people from the settled population. We aim to create and enhance harmonious community relations within a diverse Scotland. We help children and families through significant transitions across the life cycle, providing group work, family work and one to one work. We also provide up to 45 social work student placements per year for the main Universities in Scotland."

And the Hibee family has certainly helped with the above :not worth

Donation sent today via Paypal. Well done to all those involved in organisation of this worthwhile cause.:aok:

Like :thumbsup: Is there any chance of getting that emailed over, S2K? Lorraine from MCFB is writing up their latest newsletter and wants a logo from me to include in it. The original is not in a format that she can use, unfortunately.
