Annual matchday for the Club charity
Our 10th Big Hearts Day is set for Saturday 21st February 2026, at Hearts v Falkirk.
Join us this week as we share more about our charity’s work, what community means for Big Hearts and how Hearts fans make Tynecastle Park so special for adults and children most in need of support.
10 years, 1 big heart
Matchday means more than football.
It’s the anticipation, the travel to Tynecastle Park, the smell of the distillery and the noise of the traffic on Gorgie road. It’s meeting up with pals in their maroon scarves, and catching up with your season ticket ‘neighbours’ in the stand.
It’s about what we’re achieving now and the hard road that led us to it. Our history. Our connections. Our community. Our one big heart.
In February 2016, Big Hearts made an open call to Heart of Midlothian supporters: could they back the Club charity to support adults and children who need our help most, through shared acts of kindness?
From award-winning volunteering during the pandemic to bringing hundreds of disadvantaged families to watch Hearts at Hampden, the past decade has shown what community means to all associated with Big Hearts. Tynecastle Park has become a safe space for under-supported school pupils, families in crisis and older people in need of connections. We couldn’t have done it without you.
This Saturday, as we celebrate the 10th annual Big Hearts Day, at the game Hearts v Falkirk, we’re turning that one big heart into pride for our shared achievements. Big Hearts Day is more than a Hearts game… It’s a celebration of hope, kindness and resilience in coming together to support others most in need.
The badge, the fans, the charity: ten years, one big heart.
