The U's and Bristol Rovers team up to fight the stigma around mental health.

Oxford United welcome Bristol Rovers to the Kassam Stadium on Saturday 7th October with the clubs celebrating the upcoming World Mental Health Day by holding their own Mental Health Awareness Match Day with chosen charity, YoungMinds.

World Mental Health Day is being celebrated globally on Tuesday 10th October and United will use the fixture to raise awareness around mental health issues.

The clubs chosen charity, YoungMinds, is a charity that fights for young people’s mental health and has the vision of a world where no young person feels alone with their mental health.

YoungMinds will have a presence outside the South Stand handing out key information about the charity and having bucket collectors outside every turnstile at the ground to raise money for such an important cause.

The U's will also be wearing YoungMinds branded t-shirts during their warm-up before kick-off, with the club using some of these shirts to be signed and auctioned to raise additional funds for the charity.

Director of Development at YoungMinds, Vanessa Longley told us, “We’re incredibly grateful that Oxford United are supporting YoungMinds. The money raised is needed now more than ever in our fight for the mental health of children and young people across the UK."
