Hibs announce significant new partnership with Hibernian Supporters (HSL)
Hibs have announced a significant new partnership with Hibernian Supporters (HSL).
The new agreement signals a renewed commitment to a strengthened working relationship between the Club and its shareholders.
Hibernian Supporters is the largest supporter-shareholder group at Hibernian Football Club, having been established in 2015.
Since then, HSL have supported the Club across a variety of areas, most notably during the Covid pandemic where their members rallied to fundraise on behalf of the Club.
'I'm absolutely delighted to welcome Hibernian Supporters as one of the Club's principal partners,' said Ian Gordon, Chairman of Hibernian Football Club.
'As we head into what is such a significant year for our football club, we're excited to be working closer than ever before with HSL for the benefit of our supporters.
'I'd like to personally thank everybody at HSL and their members for their longstanding support and we look forward to revealing some exciting projects soon.'
Jim Adie, Hibernian Supporters chairman, added: 'We are absolutely delighted to launch this partnership with the Club, in what is set to be a hugely significant year for Hibernian.
'We have been working hard with Ian Gordon, Murray Milligen and the team at Easter Road to ensure we can play a positive role in the continued success of Hibernian FC, and we all felt the 150th anniversary was the perfect way to kick things off.
'With a refreshed relationship with the Club we are looking forward to engaging with our members and the wider Hibs support to ensure we can continue to provide meaningful financial backing to David Gray and the Club as a whole.'
Since the turn of the year, HSL have been working closely with the Club on an exciting, landmark project as part of the club's 150th anniversary celebrations, with details set to be revealed to supporters over the coming days.
In addition, HSL and the club will work together throughout the season to promote the work of HSL and to offer unique opportunities for its members.

Transfer news LIVE: Chelsea submit bid to sign Gittens, Liverpool make £113m Wirtz offer, Inter inquire about Hojlund
Tottenham released a lengthy statement explaining their decision to dismiss manager Ange Postecoglou: FOLLOWING a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties. Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao last month - an achievement that will live with us all forever. We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw. However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph. It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future - he will always be welcome back at our home. News on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course.

Why rescue centres in the South West are still struggling to cope with a rise in abandoned kittens
Cat rescue centres across the South West say they are struggling to cope with 'huge' numbers of kittens being abandoned. It's thought an overhang from the pandemic five years ago is partly responsible, with fewer cats being neutered or spayed at the time. The Moggery Cat and Kitten Rehoming Centre in Bishopston received more than double their normal intake of abandoned kittens in 2024. They say volunteers rescued an additional 220 cats to what they'd expect during kitten season. Founder Christine Bayka told ITV West Country huge numbers of people adopted cats during the 2020 lockdown but later changed their mind about owning pets. She added that fewer cats were neutered or spayed too. 'During the Covid lockdown, the PDSA and RSPCA stopped doing neuters as normal because they could only have one vet in the operating theatre at a time,' said Bayka. 'We continued to neuter cats, but we were only able to do about a quarter of the amount we usually would,' she added. A lot of rescue centres and animal shelters are now facing a backlog of cases on neutering operations. This year At the beginning of this year, the Moggery Rehoming Centre rescued 50 cats and kittens from one flat in Weston-super-Mare. The cats and kittens filled the centre's capacity for the first three months of 2025, limiting their ability to help other cats. The issue is being felt in Gloucestershire too. At Cheltenham Animal Shelter, the team has received 34 kittens since the start of this year, while usually at this point they would have usually taken in two to four. At Bristol and Wales Cat Rescue, a campaign has allowed staff to neuter 50 cats, at no cost to their owners. A spokesperson for the organisation said the campaign has stopped them from receiving an excessive amount of kittens, reducing pressure on their service. Best practice - advice from Cats Protection Cats Protection says it's best to neuter cats at around four months old- the age female cats can get pregnant- to prevent them from having unwanted litters. It adds that neutering/spaying cats also has multiple health benefits for them. Neutering male cats prevents them from wandering far from home in search of a mate, which lowers the chance of them getting injured while roaming. It also reduces the chance of them contracting diseases like Feline AIDS (FIV) and prevents them from getting testicular cancer. Similarly, spaying female cats can also reduce the chances of them contracting FIV. It also eliminates risk of ovarian and uterine cancer.
