Care UK strikes new partnership with Hibernian FC Next Gen Academy

A care home in Edinburgh is kicking the year off by supporting local girls in football.

Care UK’s Cairdean House, in Colinton, has sponsored Hibernian FC’s Next Generation Youth Academy for the upcoming season.

The funds will go towards the under‑13 girls’ section as the sport continues to grow in popularity. To mark the partnership, the Cairdean House team was presented with a sponsored club jersey.

“It is amazing to partner with Care UK and proudly display their sponsorship on one of our NextGen academy squads,” said Stewart Hall, Head of Girls Acadmey Player Development at Hibernian FC.

“Care UK’s support goes far beyond what can be seen on the pitch. Their support allows the development of these players away from the game as well.”

Angela Burns, Home Manager at Cairdean House, said: “We’re thrilled to play our part in supporting local girls in football by sponsoring Hibernian FC.

“Many residents grew up as Hibs fans, and the club shares our values of being a core part of the community, so this really is a match made in heaven.

“We hope our sponsorship will help the U13s thrive and encourage even more local girls to find their way into football. We can’t wait to see how the team gets on this season — we’ll be rooting for them every step of the way!”

Cairdean House has been designed to deliver the very best standards of care and to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives. The home provides full-time residential, nursing and specialist dementia care, as well as short-term respite care.

“The work that CareUK do and the support they provide over the communities they are in is something that makes us proud to have them on the front of our shirts,” added Stewart Hall.
