Can you take our Edinburgh Cheer pledge and help to make our communities a little kinder?

The two clubs - Hearts through its Big Hearts Foundation and Hibs, Hibernian Community Foundation and NHS Lothian through their innovative GameChanger public social partnership - will be staging a series of events in and around their grounds throughout December. We will also be working with a series of other charity partners.
