C9 Foundation

20/06/2026

A week today for the first 11s match ⚽

A full circle moment, as this is the same pitch this all started for me. My first fundraising game, which ultimately led to starting the C9 Foundation 💙

Looking forward to blowing out my arse 😮‍💨 but to ticking off a lifetime goal, playing an 11s game with Colin Crawfordjnr

Let's hope the Fibro stays at bay this week 🤞🏼🙈

🎉 A HUGE congratulations to Alan Sefton from all of us at the C9 Foundation! 🎉

You absolutely smashed it with an incredible time of 2 hours and 26 minutes. 🏅👏

But Alan didn’t just run for himself — he ran for mental health and raised an amazing £535 to support the work we do here at C9. This money will directly fund vital support sessions for our members and help us continue making a difference in people’s lives. 💚

Alan, your determination, spirit, and generosity are truly inspiring. From everyone here — thank you for going the distance for us. You’ve made a real impact.

Pool night’s are more than just pool — they are laughs, chats, and genuine check-ins.

Because when the pressure builds,
a quiet conversation between shots can make all the difference 💬💙

The sun’s out and so should you be — even 10 minutes outdoors can help clear your head, boost your mood, and top up those all-important vitamin D levels.

Whether it's a walk, a coffee on the step, or just pausing to feel the warmth on your face — it all counts.

Get some sun in ☀️💙

When life feels heavy, the right people can lift you — even when you don’t ask.

Support. Belonging. Strength.

That’s what real community brings. Because the truth is…

Community Changes Everything. 💬💙

Show up. Speak out. Stay strong.
