The Hibernian Community Foundation is part of a wider family or organisations, charities, media channels and of course a global network of supporter associations that are green and white to the core.
The Hibernian Historical Trust was established in 2004 with the goal of preserving and protecting the historical artefacts of the Club, as well as being a focal point for information and education about the Club’s rich history.
The Trust used the period of lockdown carry out an inventory of all the items it has in its possession. So far they have identified over 5,000 items that have been donated, loaned or purchased over 16 years. Items range from trophies, medals, programmes, photographs and strips, and more beside. Indeed, the Trust has in its possession the complete set of match-worn original Scottish Cup final strips, tracksuits, balls and even the silver packing case in which they were transported to Hampden, kindly donated by the Club.
In collecting items, the Trust is careful to establish the authenticity of any item it receives including its provenance. It has been asked advice on many occasions to validate items that supporter’s treasure as being genuine and will only do so if there is documentation that supports that opinion.

Block 7 are a group of enthusiastic and energetic lifelong-Hibees who provide non-stop support, music and cheer at Easter Road. Block 7 thrives off commitment and passion for the club.
As Block 7 continue to grow, they work closely with the club to help create a special atmosphere inside Easter Road.
“Block Seven isn’t just a Saturday project, it’s all day, every day, it’s our main priority. The effort the members put into the group is phenomenal.”
“What do Hibs mean to us? In a word… Everything! It’s our Club. Our Passion. Our City.”
In September 2005, during a Hibernian FC UEFA Cup trip to Dnipropetrovsk, Ukraine, a handful of our supporters organised a charitable collection for some local orphans. Within a few months the idea had snowballed, and backing by Hibees enabled a charity to reach more children than ever first envisaged.
When the war in Ukraine broke out in 2022, the charity took it upon themselves to help a group of orphans escape the conflict and find a home here in Edinburgh.
The charity has continued to develop services for the children, enabling them to learn, find work and enjoy life in Scotland.

North East Scotland Hibs (NESH) (HSA)
NESH is the club for Hibees all over the North East of Scotland. NESH was born in 2017 when Frazer Henderson – a Hibee from Edinburgh who lived at the time in Aberdeen – proposed getting a branch off the ground. The name NESH was chosen to reflect the fact that membership comes from right across the North East and not just from Aberdeen. There are members from Montrose, Elgin, Nairn, Arbroath, Banff Laurencekirk, Dundee, Orkney, and beyond.
Membership of NESH is very reasonable: a £10 joining fee (for which you get a free NESH scarf) and £2 per month after that. The association doesn’t aim to make a lot of money subsidise the bus at £10-15 return for members to travel to games). Leftover funds are often re-invested in Hibs. NESH has sponsored a players (including sponsoring Kevin Nisbet’s away jersey) and have made donations to Since 1875 – when they existed – for displays, and to Hibs Women.
Today, the association has 97 members, and continues to grow.
NESH runs regular buses to most Category A games.
