We recently announced a brand-new partnership with Back Onside – a mental health charity whose mission is to improve the nation’s mental health, through education support and inclusion.
With aligned values surrounding mental health within the football industry, both Hibs and Back Onside have committed to working together to achieve their shared goals and promote positive mental health within the Club and the wider football community.
Off the back of the announcement, our match with Ross County will be held in partnership with Back Onside – with both teams wearing warm-up shirts before the match to help raise awareness for the charity.
Back Onside has partnered with several football clubs over the past few years, including Ross County, which is why tomorrow’s match is the perfect fit for both clubs to support this initiative.
Supporters can also look out for Back Onside promotional artwork and branding throughout the Stadium as the Club aims to continue to raise awareness around mental health and the importance of breaking the stigma around the topic.
Libby Emmerson, Back Onside Founder, commented: "It is such a fantastic opportunity to have two of our partner clubs come together and use this game to highlight not only Back Onside, but more importantly a subject that is surrounded with such a negative stigma, especially within football.
“I would like to thank both clubs for all their continued support in helping raise awareness for the charity and we are looking forward to what should be an exciting match!”
Hibernian FC’s Chief Executive Ben Kensell, added:
“After partnering with the Charity very recently we were committed to getting the ball rolling as soon as possible and we are delighted to have Back Onside supporting Tuesday’s match with Ross County.
“The charity does fantastic work around mental health in sport and we are looking forward to supporting them as much as we can in the near future.”
