Kick Start FC Women's Football Therapy

Founded in 2020, we are a mental health charity created with the purpose of challenging the stigma around mental health and encouraging people to 'tackle the mind' through the medium of football.

Kick Start FC Men's Football Therapy

Football Therapy is designed to support those struggling with poor mental health, mental ill health, and social isolation. Each session is designed to provide service users peer support and a safe space in the form of a football pitch.

Kick Start FC In The Community

We are always looking to build partnerships with other organisations that align with our charitable aims. Alternatively, if you would like further information about our charity or to discuss any volunteering opportunities, please contact us.

TESTIMONIALS

"Kick Start FC has been amazing and has helped me in so many ways. It has allows me to get out of the house, do something fun, and give myself a bit of escapism. The open discussions on mental wellbeing gives me a place where I don't feel alone. I am so grateful for the people I have met and for the friends I have made along the way." - Men's Football Therapy Participant

Kick Start FC Testimonial
Kick Start FC Testimonial

"Kick Start FC is great! Everyone is friendly and supportive.  It's good to get out and get some fresh air and blow off steam whilst at the same time getting a bit of much needed exercise. As my football skills (non existent) improve so does my confidence" -

Kick Start FC Testimonial

"Kick Start FC is something that I can look forward to each week. It gives me an outlet for my mental health, whether that is to losing myself within the session or to just talk and listen to others. It has also given me the opportunity to play football despite getting on in years. I am now more able to talk about my mental health - particularly when I am at work. " - Women's Football Therapy Participant
