ON Tuesday January 11, Southend United will be holding a 'Match for Mind' against Yeovil Town.

The aim of the game is to raise awareness of mental health issues and to encourage those struggling to speak out and get help.

We are also fundraising for SECE Mind so they can continue the excellent work they do in our area.

With that in mind, a handful of us will be walking from Chelmsford to Southend (the area SECE Mind covers) with the matchball on the morning of the match.
