Creating Safe Spaces
We recognize that isolation and mental health challenges affect many in our community. Our sessions are designed to combat these issues by serving two essential purposes:
Physical Health
Encouraging regular physical activity in a fun, non-intimidating environment.
Informal Support Network
Beyond the pitch, our sessions act as informal support networks where participants can build friendships, combat loneliness, and, most importantly, feel comfortable engaging in open conversations about mental health in a stigma-free environment.
Our Activities and Community Impact
Our operations are designed to maximize inclusion and positive support:
Inclusive Sessions: We organize weekly and monthly football sessions where the focus is firmly on inclusion and enjoyment over high-stakes competition.
Mental Health Support: We actively create safe spaces where participants are encouraged to share and discuss mental health challenges openly, knowing they will receive a positive, non-judgmental response.
Building Connection: We specifically target social interaction, making our sessions ideal for individuals who may otherwise feel isolated or excluded from traditional sporting environments.
Trained Volunteer Network: Our commitment includes training dedicated volunteers to support participants, ensuring that every session is positive, welcoming, and aligns with our core values of wellbeing and respect.
