Cairdean House strikes goal-den partnership with youth football academy!
Care UK’s Cairdean House, in Colinton, has sponsored Hibernian FC’s Next Generation Youth Academy for the current season.
Grassroots football plays such an important role in our local communities, not just developing young footballers, but building confidence, teamwork and a real sense of belonging. The Next Generation Youth Academy is such an amazing opportunity for the young footballers to progress in their career and we are very happy to be helping on their pathway to success. It is great to see the new kits out in action and worn with pride. Care UK are really proud to be able to support the Academy as they put so much into developing young players.
