Big Hearts - Schools out

If you are worried about the school holidays because you don’t have much to do or people to hang out with School’s Out might be for you?  It is a club run at Tynecastle Park during the school holidays for five to 14 year olds normally in the afternoons. You will get the chance to have fun, play football, do crafts and indoor games. You will also get to meet other people and make new friends in a fun safe environment.

Big Hearts - That’s me

Do you sometimes struggle with your mental health or have strong feelings about things that have happened in your past? That’s me is a teenager service in Edinburgh that can offer you either individual support or support as part of a group. You would meet an adult at Tynecastle Park in a safe and supportive environment, where you can share your problems, worries and things that are going on in your life. This can help you to make sense of your emotions, reduce distress and support your wellbeing.

There is also the option to meet other young people in groups where you can have fun and do physical activities together.

Big Hearts - Welcome through football

If you are a refugee or migrant now living in Edinburgh, it can be difficult to make new friends, learn the language and cope with the many changes and challenges. This programme is designed to make settling in easier and happier. You will have the chance to meet other young people aged 15 to 24 years to play football and other group activities. You can also get one-to-one support with education, employment and volunteering.
