Have Your Mate's Back

“One of my passions is to support the Mental Health and Wellbeing of everyone who attends or volunteers at Caterham Pumas Youth Football Club.

 

"As we come of out of lockdown we have seen a change in some our children whether that be increased anxiety or lack of confidence on and off of the football pitch. We want to make the children feel like they can talk to any of the volunteers and Committee members. As part of our clubhouse expansion project myself and Jamie Hardgrave want to create a Wellbeing room which will include a sensory area, quiet space and somewhere for the children to talk safely. That is why I was so keen for us to back this campaign and show our support to our mates who may need us to have their backs during these unprecedented times.

 

"We have to teach our children and remind them that it's OK to not be OK and to make time to talk when they need or want to”
