The Footy Social

The Footy Social was created to help men (18+) improve their mental and physical health. Sessions are completely free. No membership is required, we encourage men of all ages and abilities to get involved. The Footy Social is now held in three areas, Sefton, North Liverpool, and South Liverpool.

Whether you wish to play, or call in for a drink, everyone is welcome. The project is designed to provide social support networks, that for some can help reduce feelings of isolation, boost self-confidence and self-worth; and provide a distraction from rumination and negative thoughts.

Once the football is over, several of our venues enable people to stay behind and socialise in the bar or designated communal area. Whether that be to watch live football or take part in a sports quiz, our group provides a welcoming safe place where people can have a chat and enjoy social interaction.

Quarterly Themes to be held over the year will include:

1. Suicide Awareness

2. Physical Health MOT

3. Raising Awareness to drug and alcohol abuse

4. Raising awareness to mental health

These themes will include talks from NHS professionals and those with real life experiences. An information resource pack developed by Urban Health UK will be provided for each participant to take home.
