We support all sportspeople to transition into life outside of sport

Story

Myself (Andy's wife) and Andy's family would be grateful if donations would go to any or a combination of the four charities we have chosen which we believe have been and would be important for Andy. We hope you understand we will be having family flowers only.

We have seen the huge positive impact sport has had on Andy's life, from football, cricket to golf and snowboarding and many others. During this past 6 months when Andy couldn't comfortably play his much loved sports it became even more obvious the significance and necessity of sport for him in supporting his physical and mental health.

During Andy's life he reached exceptional achievements in his sporting endeavours, particularly for golf and cricket. Speaking to Andy's family and friends it has been a privilege to have played with and alongside him, Andy always having shared any of his own sporting wisdom onwards to anyone.

Switch the Play provides mental health support that gives sportspeople the tools and guidance to build and maintain good mental health, both through and beyond sport. They focus on prevention, support and guidance, and champion positive mental health for sportspeople.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Leaving a life in sport can be really tough. Not all sportspeople win gold medals or international caps and, when their sporting careers come to an end, most will need to start a second career. For some, this transition can lead to a loss of identity, a lack of purpose and mental health struggles.
