September is Su***de Prevention Month. 🧡
Behind every smile, every joke and every “I’m fine”, there can be a battle that nobody else can see.
Around 20 people a day die by su***de in the UK. Men are around three times more likely to die by su***de, and su***de remains the leading cause of death for men under 50.
Those aren’t just statistics. They’re teammates. Mates. Brothers. Dads. Sons. Partners.
At Inter Legends, we’re incredibly grateful for what football gives us beyond the 90 minutes.
It gives us an escape from the pressures of everyday life. A changing room full of laughter. A group of people we can talk to. A place to switch off, have fun, de-stress and just be ourselves.
Over time, we’ve built something that feels more like a family than a football team.
But we know not everyone has that safe space.
So check in on your mates — especially the ones who always seem OK. Ask twice. Listen properly. Make time for the conversation.
And if you’re struggling, please don’t convince yourself that you have to deal with it alone.
Speak up. Talk to someone.
There is strength in asking for help, and one conversation could make more difference than you realise. 🧡
No one should struggle alone.
