With all eyes focused on the Ukraine ahead of Sunday's showpiece Euro 2012 Final, it hands us a timely reminder about the inspiring charity that was formed by Hibernian supporters seven years ago, the Dnipro Kids Appeal, which continues to go from strength to strength.

During our 2005 European adventure to Dnipropetrovsk, our supporters saw the unbearable conditions forced upon the orphans and decided to make a difference. The rest, as they say, is history.

It all started with a one-off bucket collection, prior to the club's home UEFA cup game against FC Dnipro, in September 2005, soon becoming a fully-fledged charity within a few months.

Over the following years the generous spirit of Hibernian fans has raised well over £15,000 for the Dnipro Appeal to aid orphaned children in Ukraine.

Members of the committee, including Steven Carr, regularly make trips over to Dnipro to see first-hand the positive work engineered by the funds raised and that the charity continues to develop.
