SUPPORT FOR SPORTS

 

'Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. 

I can assure them it is much more serious than that.' 

Bill Shankley 

​

Okay, sport may not be more important than life or death to most people. But it can have a profound effect on our quality of life, mental health and wellbeing. For this reason, and because I love most sports myself, I am very happy to support organisations such as:

​

The Premier League Charitable Fund - which includes all Premier and English Football League clubs;

The Harlequins Foundation;

Fulham Football Club Foundation;

Watford Football Club - Community Sports and Education Trust.

​

So far, support has included:

Reviewing the organisation's current educational offer and planning for continuous improvement;

Training sessions, focussing on how we can improve children's resilience and wellbeing through sport;

Training sessions which focus on how adults, working with children and young people, can maintain and improve their own good mental health and wellbeing.
