Fulham FC and Movember partnering for men’s health
Globally, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day; and here in the UK, three out of four suicides are men. Additionally, half of all lifetime mental illness begins by the age of 14 and 75% are established by the age of 24.
That’s why conversations about mental health and fitness earlier in life are important.
" we’ve supported more than 1,400 young players, parents and coaches, to create healthier and more resilient communities "
Over the past year, we have been partnering with Fulham Football Club Foundation to deliver Movember Ahead of the Game, a mental fitness programme that teaches young athletes, their parents and coaches how to talk about mental health, get help when needed and overcome life’s challenges.
Together, we’ve supported more than 1,400 young players, parents and coaches, to create healthier and more resilient communities.
The partnership is being celebrated at Craven Cottage, Fulham FC’s home on the banks of the River Thames in London on Saturday 7th October when Fulham welcome Sheffield United in the Premier League.
The match day activation will include encouraging fans to join the Movember movement and take a stand against silence as part of a campaign to support the conversation around mental health and the stigma associated with getting help.
