Gellions AFC a local amateur football team based in Inverness are heading to Aberdeen to take on charity football side Team Kickabout. Our aim is too direct the spotlight on the ever increasing problem in mental health that in particular males suffer from. 

Unfortunately it has become normal practice for males to suffer in silence , increasing the battle with anxiety , depression and often suicide thoughts which has formed one of the biggest killers in males in todays society. 

In our team alone we have a number of players that have suffered from mental health problems and without the team behind them and the encouragement the recovery would have been so much more difficult and long. 

Using football , a sport that connects with so many, we are striving too raise as much money as possible to support a fantastic charity that provides a safe and confidential platform that has helped so many people over recent times. 

The problem is growing but as a community we can make a difference. Every donation goes a very long way. Please dig deep and support our cause. 

At Mikeysline, our ultimate aim is suicide prevention. We were established in 2015 following the suicides of two close friends within days of each other, Mikey Williamson and Martin Shaw, both aged 23. Our textline service was set up to provide an anonymous, safe, confidential way to access peer support, a listening ear from someone who understands what that person may be feeling, having their own lived experience of mental health issues. We also operate a drop in centre, The Hive, on Academy Street in Inverness.
