This week we’re celebrating the incredible power of youth work and the difference it makes to young people’s lives every single day!

We caught up with Amy, our Lead Youth Worker, to hear why she things youth work is so important.

At the Foundation we’re proud to create safe, welcoming spaces where young people can be themselves, feel supported and have their voices heard!

From growing some questionable moustaches to getting our steps in for Move for Movember, we're coming together to raise awareness of mental health and encourage everyone to make their wellbeing a priority.

Some of our team will be taking on the 60km challenge throughout November, walking or running to raise awareness of the 60 men lost to su***de every hour worldwide. Every kilometre counts, and every conversation matters! 💙

We'll be giving you a little glimpse into the lives of our First Kick team, sharing the small things we do to look after our mental wellbeing.

Whether it's going for a walk, spending time with family, playing football, catching up with friends or simply taking some time to switch off, we want to show that looking after your mental health doesn't have to be complicated.

And while Movember shines an important spotlight on men's mental health, our message is for EVERYONE – men, women, children, young and old!

Because behind the First Kick uniform, we're all human, and we all need a little time for ourselves.

Keep an eye on our socials throughout November to follow our team's progress, meet the faces behind First Kick and maybe pick up a few ideas for your own wellbeing along the way!

IT'S MO-MONTH!

New month, new 'taches (hopefully) and a whole lot of looking after ourselves! 💙

This November, we're getting behind Movember to raise awareness of men's mental health, but we're taking it one step further because mental health matters to EVERYONE!

Men, women, children, young or old – we all have mental health, and looking after our minds is just as important as looking after our bodies!

Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference. Whether it's getting outside, catching up with a mate, staying active, having a good laugh or simply taking a well-earned break, making time for yourself matters!

Throughout November, our First Kick team will be getting involved by growing their mo's, moving for Movember and sharing their very own MO-MENT – giving you a little glimpse into the things we do to look after our mental wellbeing!

Because you don't need a moustache to make a difference, and no matter your age or gender, your mental health matters! 💙

Now it's your turn! What's one little thing that puts a smile on your face or gives your mental health a boost? Let us know in the comments!
