🔦 Spotlight on Hope 🔦

This week we are shining a light on Talk About It Mate - 'Courage. Compassion. Connection.'

Founded by Mike Richard, who has himself struggled with depression and anxiety, Talk About It Mate is a Salford-based peer-support community where people can connect, share and learn from each other, providing a safe space to interact without judgement, take steps towards personal growth and share stories that have the power to inspire others.

Their services include walk and talk groups, workshops, men's groups, counselling services and mental health education in schools.

❤️⚽ Proud moment for Talk About It Mate.

We’re delighted to be named the first ever Charity of the Month by Foundation 92 and to be growing a strong community partnership together.

Even better, over 20 of our lads are heading to the Salford City FC vs Newport County game tonight — and for some, it’ll be their very first live football match.

This is what community partnership looks like. Onwards, together.
