Story

I’m extremely grateful for Menfulness.

Over the past couple of years I’ve managed to get back playing football with their awesome football community. We have raised money for them, we have great games and chat through our what’s app group.

In January of this year when one of our team mates had a heart attack on the pitch, Menfulness offered myself and the whole team free counselling through their services.

Just being able to talk to Matty at the start to share what we had been through helped me as I supported Jon’s family and friends and our team mates, by providing regular updates on Jon’s condition.

The face to face counselling they provide has changed my life. Having those sessions helped my outlook on the whole situation and helped me deal with some other situations too.

They have inspired me to do my Mental Health first aider course, & we will proudly be wearing their logo on my children’s football kit next season.

I want to continue to support Menfulness so they can help others in need, much quicker than via other methods, and I am super grateful for you taking the time to read this and donate ☺️

Maybe this time we will beat the legends!!

In advance of our legends game we are taking on a team from Menfulness on the 25th May in York. Money we raise from that will be donated via this link.
