The rear of our MHF shirts carry the logo of the Samaritans - Samaritans have our back.

Some of our attendees and volunteers are here today because they picked up the phone and called 116 123. And so on Sunday 21st June at Chadderton FC, two teams made up of MHF attendees and volunteers will take to the field dressed in either orange or green fancy dress outfits with the aim of raising mental health awareness, tackling the stigma and raising some money. Expect to see Shrek vs Tony the Tiger, Fred Flintstone vs the Hulk, and a dinosaur vs a carrot! Come along and show your support, but more importantly, please donate.

MHF is a pressure and judgement free football session that takes place every Friday night in Oldham. Our aim is to improve attendees mental health using football and peer support. Find out more here: www.afcoldham/mhf
