Charity Work
Charity work played an important part in the origonal club, and the club has reformed with massive charitable aims.
The plan is to support one local and one international charity each year, with fundraising events taking place throughout the year, whilst members can donate any change they may have during the Saturday Club.
Tynecastle Charity Match, May 2008
The club signalled it's intentions by organising a charity football match which took place at Scottish Premier League side Heart of Midlothian's Tynecastle Stadium on Sunday 18th May.
Around £3500 was raised from from the game will go to the Forth 1 Cash for Kids charity.
The main stand was open on the day, and just over 500 people attended the game, and the club would like to be involved in similar projects in the future.
We managed to get Hearts legend John Robertson to sign one of our strips, and it sold for £150 at auction on the Jambos Kickback site.
This money will go to a charity of the members choosing.
Charity Disco for the Tartan Army Childrens Charity
The charity disco, held on Saturday 13th September raised £327.73 for the Tartan Army Childrens Charity.
The Club is also in discussion with the charity about a FCofE v Tartan Army Charity Match, and we'll keep you posted.
