Who are we?
Glasgow Thistle Football Club
[
Why are we crowdfunding?
A football team from Glasgow who have been invited to Germany to play football in aid of a mens mental health charity.
How we’ll spend the money raised
We'll use the money to pay extra travel costs while in germany and also to hopefully give a sizeable donation to the charity.
Community impact
Men's mental health is crucial because traditional masculinity often discourages emotional expression, leading to stigma and silence around mental health issues. This can result in men being less likely to seek help, leading to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. By promoting open conversations and support, we can help men feel more comfortable discussing their emotions and seeking help when needed. Breaking down these barriers can save lives and improve overall well-being. It's essential to create a culture where men feel empowered to prioritize their mental health without fear of judgment or repercussions.
There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.
1. Make a pledge. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success!
2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.
3. Offer rewards. Get involved if you are a local business by donating things we can offer to our supporters. We will give you a shout out!
4. Fundraise for us. If you want to run your own fundraiser – maybe a sponsored activity or similar – use the 'contact project' button at the top of our page to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won’t need any bank details. Just a fun idea!
