Working alongside key local and national stakeholders, the Foundation delivers projects, initiatives and provides opportunities to achieve its mission of ‘Working Together to Enrich Lives’. Think Football will deliver football-based sessions in an informal, yet structured manner where the focus is not on football coaching, more getting participants playing football and taking part in fun games and drills. Alongside the sessions the participants will be provided with suitable contacts and drop-in workshops, through partners, to support them with their mental health and wellbeing. The grant will pay for the overall running of the project, including staff delivery time, training & workshops, venue hire, marketing materials and kit/equipment. Social recovery and physical activity are key elements with regards to improving a person’s mental health & wellbeing, we aim to provide an informal, social environment for our participants through our Think Football sessions. By giving people the opportunity to meet others, take part in physical activity and access support services all under one roof, we have evidence that this has a positive impact on all parts of their lives.
