WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 💚
At Maypole FC, football for us is about so much more than what happens on the pitch. It’s about belonging, building friendships, growing in confidence, and creating a community that everyone feels part of.
This World Mental Health Day, we want to remind you that it’s okay to have bad days, to feel overwhelmed, and to ask for help. You don’t always have to be strong, and you never have to face things alone.
To all our coaches, remember that your impact goes far beyond football. A kind word, a little patience, a genuine check-in or simply making a young person feel seen can stay with them long after the final whistle. That’s so powerful.
Collectively, let’s continue to create an environment where our young people feel safe enough to speak up, confident enough to be themselves, and supported enough to know that asking for help is a sign of strength.
We’re fully committed to supporting our players, parents, carers, and coaches both on and off the pitch.
We have a team of real people always willing to listen so if you need support, an ear to listen, or someone to lean on, please reach out to us.
