💙⚽ Another Fantastic Friday Sport Night! ⚽💙

Last night was another brilliant evening with over 45 young people joining us for our weekly Friday Sport Night!

It was a little cooler than we've had recently, so I think that may have kept a few away, but what a great session it was. As always, the young people were respectful, friendly and a real credit to themselves. It's amazing to see the friendships being built week after week.

A huge thank you to Chris Hill for kindly donating bottled water and sweets for the young people. Your support is hugely appreciated and really does make a difference. 💙

One thing we did notice this week... we didn't have any apples! 🍎

Believe it or not, the young people actually noticed and asked where they were! 😄 We started offering fruit alongside the treats to encourage healthier choices, and it looks like it might actually be working! Safe to say, the apples will definitely be making a comeback next week.

If anyone would like to support our sessions by donating: 🥤 Bottled water 🍎 Fruit (especially apples!) 🍌 Healthy snacks 🍪 Other snacks or treats we'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation goes directly to the young people who attend these free weekly sessions.

Finally, thank you to Little Lever Sports Club for their continued support in allowing us to use their fantastic facilities each week, and to all of our volunteers who give up their Friday evenings to make this possible.

Every Friday we're seeing first-hand just how much these sessions are needed. They're about far more than football—they're about community, wellbeing, friendship, and giving our young people a safe place to belong.

See you all next Friday! 💜⚽

💙⚽ Another Fantastic Friday Sport Night! ⚽💙

Apologies for the delayed post – it's been a busy weekend!

Last Friday we held our weekly Sport Night at Ladyshore Park, and despite the change of venue we still had around 50 young people come along.

Once again, they were an absolute credit to themselves. They were respectful, polite, and simply enjoyed spending time together, playing sport, making friends, and having fun. Seeing these sessions continue to grow and the positive atmosphere they create reminds us exactly why we started them.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and to our volunteers who give up their Friday evenings to make these sessions possible.

This Friday we're back at Little Lever Sports Club, and we'd love to welcome even more young people to join us. If you've been thinking about coming along, why not give it a try? It's completely free, open to everyone, and all about creating a safe, positive space for our community.

💧 Can you help?

As attendance continues to grow, we're always looking for donations of:
🥤 Bottled water
🍎 Fruit
🍪 Snacks
🍬 Sweets

If you're a local business or an individual who would like to support our young people, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation helps us continue providing these free weekly sessions.

If you'd like to see what we're building, feel free to pop down on Friday evening. We'd love to show you what these sessions are all about and why they're making such a difference.

📍 Little Lever Sports Club
🕖 Friday | 7:00pm – 9:00pm

Together, we're not just creating a Friday night activity—we're building friendships, confidence, opportunities, and a stronger community. 💙

As always, these sessions are completely FREE and are all about bringing young people together in a safe, positive environment to make friends, stay active, and have fun.

📢 Life Support Group – Tomorrow Evening

Due to England's World Cup semi-final kicking off at 8:00pm tomorrow evening, we've decided to cancel this week's Life Support Group.

We know many people will want to watch the match, and we felt it was best not to clash with such a big national event.

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to seeing everyone again at our next meeting.

Enjoy the match if you're watching... and come on, England! ⚽ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

💙⚽ Another Incredible Friday Sport Night! ⚽💙

Tonight was our 4th Friday Sport Night, and once again we welcomed over 70 young people!

Every single week I'm blown away by the turnout, but even more than that, I'm proud of the young people who come along. They really do themselves proud. They're respectful, polite, welcoming, and a credit to our community. Seeing so many young people enjoying themselves in a safe, positive environment is exactly why we started these sessions.

A huge thank you to Little Lever Working Mens Club for their fantastic donation of 72 bottles of water. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity, and the young people certainly appreciated it after two hours of football.

We also want to say a massive thank you to Little Lever Sports Club for their continued support. By allowing us to use their fantastic facilities every week, they've played a huge part in making these sessions possible. We couldn't do this without them.

As the sessions continue to grow, we're realising just how much they're needed. With numbers now regularly exceeding 70 young people, we're also finding we need more refreshments to keep everyone hydrated.

If you're a local business, organisation or individual who would like to donate bottled water, fruit or snacks, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation goes directly to supporting the young people who attend these free weekly sessions.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers, everyone who has donated, and especially the young people who continue to turn up week after week and make Friday nights something really special.

We're building so much more than a football session - we're building friendships, confidence, opportunities, and a stronger community. 💜

⚽💙 Friday Sport Night is Here to Stay! 💙⚽

What started as an idea to get young people together has quickly become something really special.

This Friday will be our 4th session, and every week we're seeing more and more young people come along to play sport, make friends, have a laugh, and spend time in a safe, positive environment.

We're going to keep running Friday Sport Night every week until we have our own community hub. It's our way of giving young people somewhere to go, something to do, and people to connect with.

These sessions are completely FREE, and none of it would be possible without our amazing volunteers and the support of Little Lever Sports Club.

💧 Can you help?

With numbers growing each week, we're looking for donations of:

🥤 Bottled water
🍎 Fruit
🍫 Snacks
🍬 Sweets

If you're a local business or would simply like to help, we'd be incredibly grateful. Every donation goes directly to the young people attending our sessions.

Together, we're proving just how much these opportunities are needed in our community, and every Friday brings us one step closer to making our vision for the Life Support Group Wellbeing Hub a reality.

📍 Little Lever Sports Club
🕖 Every Friday | 7pm–9pm

Everyone is welcome. Let's keep building something amazing together. 💜

💜 FROM THE DARKNESS COMES THE LIGHT 💜

We're so proud to share that Life Support Group's community art project is now on display at the Little Lever Arts Festival Exhibition at the Workers' Mens Club.

Our piece, Entry 34, tells a story that so many of us understand.

The dark charcoal drawings wrapped around the lamp represent depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness and the difficult times many people experience. As your eyes travel upwards, the lamp becomes a symbol of hope, carrying our Life Support Group logo – a reminder that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.

Hanging from the light are colourful drawings and paintings created by our members, representing the things that bring them joy today – family, friendships, hobbies, pets, nature, laughter, recovery and hope.

It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, light can be found, and that with support, understanding and connection, brighter days really are possible.

This project was created by our amazing members, many of whom bravely shared their own experiences through their artwork. Every drawing tells a story, and every story matters.

💜 If our project has touched you, we'd be incredibly grateful if you could visit the exhibition and vote for Entry Number 34.

Your vote isn't just for a piece of art it's recognition of the courage, creativity and resilience of everyone who took part.

Thank you for supporting our members and helping us spread the message that from the darkness comes the light. 💜✨

💙 WOW... we are absolutely blown away! ⚽

Tonight we welcomed nearly 60 young people to our football session!

To say I'm taken aback by the response would be an understatement. We honestly didn't expect so many to turn up, and seeing so many young people out enjoying themselves, making friends, being active, and having fun was incredible.

I even ran out of water and sweets! 😅

The young people were an absolute credit to themselves. They were polite, respectful, and a pleasure to spend the evening with. The only bit of "trouble" we had was them asking for another 10 minutes at the end... and I think that's a pretty good sign they were enjoying themselves! ❤️

These sessions are about so much more than football. They're about giving young people somewhere safe to go, people to talk to, positive role models, and a sense of belonging within their community.

As these sessions continue to grow, if any local businesses or individuals would like to support us by donating bottles of water, sweets, fruit, or other refreshments for the young people, we certainly wouldn't say no! Every little bit helps and is hugely appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who came along tonight, to our amazing volunteers, and to Little Lever Sports Club for allowing us to use their fantastic facilities.

This is only the beginning, and we're so excited to see where this journey takes us. 💙

⚽ Football Night is Back! ⚽

After such a fantastic first session, we're doing it all again tonight!

Come along for a relaxed game of football, meet new people, have a laugh, and enjoy a couple of hours outdoors. Whether you're a regular player or just fancy a kickabout, everyone is welcome.

💙 Aimed at young people, but we're always happy for parents and volunteers to get involved too!

📍 Little Lever Sports Club
🕖 7pm - 9pm

These sessions are all about bringing our community together, building friendships, encouraging positive wellbeing, and giving young people a safe and welcoming place to spend their evening.

It's completely FREE to attend, so bring your trainers, bring your friends, and come and join us!

A huge thank you once again to Little Lever Sports Club for supporting this community initiative by allowing us to use their fantastic facilities.
