ASF Vets versus His Mind FC - a football match to help raise awareness of men's mental health and to highlight the support available for men in the area. The money raised will go towards His Mind FC, the football team put together to give men the chance to get involved in something physical, unique, and fun, in order to aid their emotional wellbeing.

His Mind was founded in 2022 with the aim of providing non-clinical support for men experiencing difficulties with their mental health. After some trials and some errors, His Mind FC was created late 2023 and now play regular football in the Leisure Leagues in Abingdon. We have a team of men who benefit massively from the football matches, and we continue to see development of their wellbeing. We also offer open access football drop in sessions on alternate Tuesdays.

The league charge £34 per game to cover operational costs etc, which can have a huge impact on a small organisation like His Mind, and our aim is to have matchday costs covered so involvement for the players can continue to be offered free of charge.

SOHA Housing supported His Mind FC last season and covered costs of matches, making a huge difference to the players involved.

His Mind FC will now link up with AS Football Academy for a football match, allowing an opportunity for men to come together, get out the house, tackle loneliness, and have a game of football, all for a great cause.

Both teams are ready to go on the 15th April and are looking for your help with raising funds so His Mind can develop the football offer to men within the areas of South Oxfordshire.

Any amount would be greatly appreciated, and if you'd love to see the game live, come on down to Tilsley Park, Abingdon, OX14 1PU ready for an 8pm kick-off on the 15th April.
