We're super excited to be partnering with the wonderful team at All About Football!

Over the past few years, we've seen the positive impact that taking part in sport can have on mental health, so we really do recognise the importance of having accessible spaces and opportunities for people to come and take part.

A member of our team will be attending the All About Football Mondays sessions (6pm to 8pm) at Shobnall to chat to anyone who needs it in a safe, confidential environment.

Hopefully, we will see you there!

NEW SUPPORT AT AAF 💙

We’re really proud to announce that All About Football has partnered with Burton and District Mind the local mental health charity.

For the next 11 weeks, Burton Mind will have a mental health representative at our Monday sessions at Shobnall (6pm–8pm).

If anyone ever wants to talk about any aspect of mental health, there will be a private room available where you can speak completely confidentially.

They’ll also be around before and after the sessions sharing advice, information, and practical tips about looking after your mental wellbeing.

You don’t have to be playing football to come
along, if you just want to chat, ask questions, or learn more, you’re very welcome.

This is a brilliant initiative and completely free to use.

We all know people don’t talk enough, and male mental health support can often be lacking. Hopefully this is another small step in making football a place where people feel comfortable talking and supporting each other.

If you have any questions just drop me a message.

Only a few weeks left of our course of Re-Leaf! 🍀🍃🍂🍁

Whilst we've had to mix up some of our plans for sessions over the past few weeks due to the heavy rain, our team has come together to make the most out of the sessions through nature-based crafts, horticultural techniques and spending time outside when not too rainy 🌧

Here are some photos!

If you'd like to sign up for future courses of our Re-Leaf, you can do so over on our website today. 💻

Tomorrow morning we have our Listening Space at Burton Library!

⏰From 10am to 12pm

Taking that first step towards bettering our mental health, can often bring with it a lot of questions that may be difficult to find the answers to alone.

However! Our Listening Space is a good first step in getting those questions answered, or even just coming to have a chat over a cup of coffee ☕
