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.

TIDWORTH TOWN COMMUNITY AWARDS 2024
Thursday 29th February 2024
Yesterday, Kick Start FC were invited to attend the annual Tidworth Town Community Awards by the Tidworth Town Council. Hosted by Mayor Webb, local businesses and groups came together at the brand new Civic Centre to celebrate the amazing work done within the community. In December last year, members of the general public were asked to nominate who they thought were worthy of being worth recipients of various award categories.
We are delighted to have been nominated for the 'Community Group Of The Year' award, with the incredible Tidworth Park Run being announced as winners of this category. Our Walking Football volunteer Shaun Spanswick was nominated for the 'Community Volunteer' award along with Kick Start FC Founder Michael Cunningham who won this category.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to recognise our charity and volunteers, and deem us worthy of a nomination. Check out the photos from the event below.
Kick Start FC is a charitable incorporated organisation. Charity no. 1203577
Affiliated to the Wiltshire Football Association
