Our disability and mental health football programme has three pathways. We have a session for people living with a mental health condition, and two sessions for people living with a disability. The sessions are designed to cater for the participants ability level, so that when they attend a session they get as many touches of the football as possible. Participants are welcome to attend more than the one session, however, if it is apparent to the coaches that their ability level doesn’t suit the session, the coach will signpost to one of our other sessions.
Please be aware that these sessions run during school term time only.
Football session takes place every week and uses football to support positive mental health through physical activity and creating stronger peer-support networks.
