'On and Off the Pitch' is a Big Lottery funded project aimed at raising awareness of positive mental wellbeing and health promotion within a sports club setting. We are working closely with Off the Record - a mental health social movement by and for young people aged 11-25 - in the delivery.
We need to select 6 sport clubs across Bristol and S Glos who are willing to open up a conversation within the club to help support young people maintain positive mental wellbeing.
Through being involved as one of the 6 clubs in the project we can offer the following:
- FREE Mental Health Awareness course for all coaching/ volunteer staff within the club
- FREE Peer Supporter training for 6 young individuals (aged between 11 and 25) who are keen to support their peers both within the club and outside around maintaining positive mental wellbeing.
- Provide a budget of £250 for your club to run an event to help spread the health promotion message to your local community, led by the young peer supporters.
- Be a trail blazer in a new kite marking system for sport clubs across the area recognizing your work and support of young peoples mental health.
If this sounds like something you'd like your club to be involved in, then please complete this very quick survey and we will be in touch shortly! If you wish to chat it through, please call Lisa Wood on 07796 937413, thanks.
