Yesterday I had the privilege of volunteering with the Melp Foundation at the very first Women's Mental Health World Cup alongside the Men's Mental Health World Cup at Millwall Football Club.
48 teams. Over 400 players, families, volunteers and supporters all in one place. Competitive, emotional, loud, joyful. And together, raising over £100,000 for mental health.
The Mental Health World Cup exists to take a stand against su***de. Seeing so many people use football to open up conversations that so often stay closed reminded me just how powerful community can be when it shows up with purpose.
It was exhausting. My feet can confirm that. But worth every single minute.
Roll on next year, with even more women's teams. 💙⚽
