INTRODUCING UNITED MINDS 💙🧠

Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day and Southend United Community Foundation is proud to launch UNITED MINDS, a brand new mental health and wellbeing project supporting young people across our local community 💙

Thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts of Chris Phillips , we are now just £1,190 away from our £10,000 target, which will help us bring this important project to life 👏

⚽ What is UNITED MINDS?
Using the power of football and the Southend United badge, UNITED MINDS will deliver engaging mental health and wellbeing workshops to secondary schools and sixth forms (Years 10–12).

Our workshops will aim to:

🧠 Improve understanding of mental health and emotional wellbeing.
💪 Equip young people with practical strategies to manage stress and pressure.
🤝 Help pupils recognise when they or a friend may need support.
💬 Encourage open conversations and break down the stigma surrounding mental health.
❤️ Help young people understand where and how to seek support.

We also hope to bring participants together for a special end-of-project celebration at Roots Hall Stadium 🏟️

🏫 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM LOCAL SCHOOLS!

Are you a secondary school or sixth form interested in bringing UNITED MINDS to your pupils?

📩 Contact [email protected] to register your interest and find out more.

💙 Let’s talk. Brighter futures.

Together, we can help ensure young people feel supported, understood and confident to speak up about their mental health.

Together Against Su***de 💛

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is listen.

As part of our Premier League Kicks programme, our young people came together to talk about mental health, supporting each other and why speaking up matters.
