Above are some of pictures received from Gorgie Mills school, thanking everyone who donated towards the Kicks for Kids season tickets they receive via Leith Links.

For those who don't know, Leith Links was formed in 2013 to collect donations so Kicks for Kids season tickets (KfK STs) can be purchased and allocated to children's groups and clubs. Since then, over £64,000 has been donated by our wonderful support and 777 KfK STs have been purchased meaning many more children - who wouldn't normally be able to go to games - have attended Easter Road and joined our family

It's now time for the upcoming season's fundraiser and 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 (leithlinks@live.co.uk), bank transfer, cheque 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 for more details and contributors can also nominate specific *groups who they think would benefit from tickets and Hibs will contact them.

There are many people I would like to thank for their support as this wonderful story would be nothing without our fans, including those who have donated already, including:

All the fans who donate by either Direct Debit/Standing Order or make one-off payments
Since1875
Hibernian Shareholders Association (now closed)
St. Patrick's branch of the Hibernian Supporters Association

Thanks to the above, over £6,000 has been received already which equals 101 KfK STs

Also, 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, (plus these threads ) and for continually backing the cause GGTTH.

After a meeting with Hibs a couple of months ago, I was advised that there would be be a limit on the number of KfK STs that can be purchased this season and therefore, we are aiming for a maximum of 150 tickets. If additional funds are received, the donations could be used for next year's fundraiser/one-off match tickets or Hibs scarves etc but I will keep everyone updated of how near (or far!) we are from that number and take it from there.

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

**SirDavidsNapper** · 09-07-2018 03:44 PM

Brilliant work well done. I'm sure we'll get enough for the full 150. Must be fantastic for those kids.

**FranckSuzy** · 10-07-2018 11:58 AM

Bump

Admins: please can you add the 80 tickets already donated towards to the title please? Normally I would add those purchased outright by .netters but given the cap on numbers, I think it's better that people can see how near (or far

) we are from 150

Also, most are from the kind posters on here anyway so it makes sense

Thank you!

**FranckSuzy** · 10-07-2018 06:20 PM

I am delighted to advise £710 has been donated since yesterday, taking us up to 89 KfK STs

I'm aiming to purchase the tickets next week - to allow Hibs time to allocate them before the first home game - so IF you'd like to contribute, now is the time

I received this email from Hibs yesterday and another 3 tickets were bought today, making 47 left for purchase

"Hi Susan,

Claire said you’d been in and paid for 102 Kicks for Kids tickets – thanks so much again to you and the Hibs support for your generosity and continued support!

Other sponsors and fans have also purchased tickets and the total currently stands at 150. This means there is only 50 left for purchase should further funds become available.

How does this allocation work for you?

Street Soccer

Kids in Care

Dads Work

St Ninian’s Youth Club

The Venchie

Kids in the Street

Family Solutions

Royston Wardieburn Community Centre

Pilmeny Youth Centre

Multicultural Families Base

Total = 102

Thanks again, catch up soon!

Sue"

Great effort thanks

**CMurdoch** · 04-08-2018 04:13 PM

Only 3 season tickets available when looking at the online dot system!!!

**FranckSuzy** · 16-08-2018 09:26 AM

With another 3 KfK STs purchased before our first home game, another 9 will be added today so many more children can attend the Aberdeen game

That takes us up to 114, so far, unless anyone else wishes to donate of course.........

Admins: please can you update the title to 114?

***Eyrie*** · 16-08-2018 07:37 PM

Leith Links has been Hibs class for six seasons now

***danhibees1875*** · 16-08-2018 08:06 PM

Great initiative and well done for organising Suzy!

I've a couple of questions out of curiosity:

How do tickets get allocated? Do schools/clubs approach you or vice versa?

Is the uptake generally 100% of the tickets for each game?
