The Cause:

CITY THRIVE: CITY IN THE COMMUNITY’S NEW MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMME

The initiative was developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to help provide support for thousands of people aged 14 to 25.
The programme itself utilises a blended approach, using football sessions, group workshops and one-to-one mentoring to educate students around mental health subjects whilst also equipping them with the tools to regulate their own mental wellbeing in a post COVID-19 landscape.
Throughout the season all of City in the Community’s (CITC) fundraising will be dedicated to the programme. The money raised will help the charity maximise the impact of the programme, allowing us to expand the reach of our sessions and increase the face-to-face contact that we can have with young people across the city.
CITC have partnered with the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital (RMCH) and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) to offer this holistic approach to mental health support for our
participants across Greater Manchester.
As part of this new partnership, we will also have a designated CAMHS practitioner based within CITC four days a week to aid with concerns and advice throughout our programs
