TESTIMONIALS
"My first session was pre-lockdown and I was a little anxious beforehand. I wanted to meet new people as I am relatively new to the local area. What I enjoy now is that it is a consistent social activity and all the guys who turn up are spot on. It's also a good opportunity to talk about mental health if I ever needed to speak out." - Oliver Ryan
"My first session was back in March time just before the lockdown period. I had seen a post advertising Kick Start FC on Facebook and thought I would give it a try. I have always enjoyed playing football and the guys who turn up are a good laugh I have enjoyed coming to the sessions. It’s also a great way to speak out if you have anything on your mind. I would totally recommend it." - Rob Yates

How do I talk about my mental health?
Putting your feelings into words is sometimes difficult. It’s perfectly normal to be worried that you might say the wrong thing or explain it badly. It’s also natural to feel anxious that your loved one or friend might think your mental health is worse than you might feel it is.
Try not to worry – talking about your mental health is incredibly important when it comes to getting the right support for you and with the right preparation the conversation can be easier than you think it might be. Here are a few tips on how to talk about your mental health.

LOVE AID UK
Sunday 3rd December 2023
An ensemble of leading unsigned singers and musicians from North Hampshire have come together this December to form a super group called Love Aid UK.
Led by the team of James Stretch, Ben Tuffin, Ross Barrett, and James Faulkner, Love Aid UK boasts a massive 60 members, each bringing their own musical talent to the group. Their collective aim is to crowd fund and raise money for three charities in the local community that focus on child welfare. With the blessing of the Band Aid Foundation, Love Aid UK have released their own version of Band Aid's 'Do They Know It's Christmas Time'. The three charities chosen for this project are Kick Start FC, Kids On Track, and Finding Freedom From Abuse.
Love Aid UK have set an initial target of raising £10,000 through donations. To help raise awareness of their single, they have also produced music video which can be seen below. To donate to Love Aid UK, please click here.
Kick Start FC is a charitable incorporated organisation. Charity no. 1203577
Affiliated to the Wiltshire Football Association
