Home Matters: Big Hearts Day raises over £16,000

Big Hearts, the charity of Heart of Midlothian FC, is thrilled to announce that our fundraising efforts on Big Hearts Day 2025 have so far raised an incredible £16,700! The funds raised on our ninth Big Hearts Day will help us to support the people in our community, offering support, connections and opportunities to thrive.

Our 2025 campaign focused on Tynecastle Park, the home of our wonderful Club and Big Hearts Community Trust. For so many, Tynecastle Park feels like home. Home matters. A place where you are safe, with people who understand you; where you can be who you really are. For many supported by Big Hearts, Home is where Big Hearts is.

This week, our fundraising efforts continue with the auction of Saturday’s one-off Hearts kits click here to bid and there will be another opportunity to support our charity and be in with a chance of winning a unique prize! This year’s annual fundraising campaign aims to reach over £25,000 to support our work across the year.

We reached every corner of the Hearts family in the build up to and on Big Hearts Day and we express enormous gratitude to everyone involved:

  • The wonderful team of volunteers and programme participants who took part in our campaign; David Muir, David Baird, Kirsty Reid, Milly Whitehead, Paul Mutch, Hassan Tajudeen
  • The Hearts supporters who have rallied together and donated to support our community.
  • Our amazing team of 40 Big Hearts Day volunteers who engaged with fans pre-match.
  • Stellar Omada, for generously donating their front of shirt branding to Big Hearts for the day.
  • Heart of Midlothian Football Club staff, who made the day possible.

This season Big Hearts continues to welcome hundreds of adults and children to Tynecastle Park each week, providing free opportunities to support living a safe and fulfilling life.

Our programmes focus on promoting positive mental health, fostering meaningful social connections, and creating pathways for a brighter future.

The funds raised by our supporters for Big Hearts Day will allow us to continue the work we do, furthering our strategic ambitions of empowering the people we support, helping them in a way that works for them.

We look forward to seeing you all for Big Hearts Day 2026!
