SOLIHULL Moors have announced a partnership with Living Well UK – a mental health consortium charity – to improve well being.
The goal of the partnership is to ensure everyone involved with the club – from the fans to the first team – feel empowered to think about their mental health.
The deal will see the charity work with players, coaches, and spectators on a series of well being enhancing programmes and other initiatives whilst also becoming one of the club’s shirt sponsors for the season.
Ben Howells, chief executive of Living Well UK, said: “It’s fantastic to be working with Solihull Moors FC and we’re truly excited to get he ball rolling with the plans we have in mind.
“The club and Living Well UK share so many of the same values and we’re both passionate about improving access to both physical and mental health programmes for people in Solihull.
“The work the club and Solihull Moors Foundation already do for the region is phenomenal and we truly believe that by joining forces, we can help raise awareness of the support available to those who are struggling.
“Living Well UK is on hand to help, with a range of free programmes available for those in Birmingham and Solihull.”
Moors chair Darryl Eales said: “We are so pleased to welcome Living Well UK to the team and are looking forward to working with their experts in the coming season and beyond.
“The sporting industry can be a high-pressure one and isn’t always known for being the most open when it comes to talking about emotional well-being.
“We hope that Moors can help to change that and show that there’s no shame in getting your head in the game.”
