Story

Due to the ongoing global pandemic football has been unable to be played leaving players up and down the country not knowing what to do on their usual 'Football Days'. The current lack of football has had a significant impact on players, club officials and supporters mental health. 

With no date set for when football can return, our first team players have been doing their best to look after their physical and mental wellbeing by following an exercise programme created by Loxwood FC manager Spencer Slaughter and assistant manager Paul Dollner.

The first team players and management have pledged to run 1000 miles within the next four weeks starting on Monday 15th February to raise awareness for MIND. 

MIND provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem, campaigning to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding. 

Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem but hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling. MIND believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone, they will give you support and advice, and fight your corner. 

As a club we feel we would benefit from getting back onto the pitch as soon as it is safe, as it would help the mental health of our players, fans, committee members and their families. 

Until then, thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page, any donations and support for the lads would be greatly appreciated.
