Speak Out United Mental Health FC: Raising Pitch Fees for a Greater Cause
In the heart of our community, Speak Out United Mental Health FC stands as a beacon of hope and camaraderie, utilizing the universal language of football to foster connections, promote well-being, and combat the stigma surrounding mental health. As we approach the new season, we find ourselves in need of financial support to cover our pitch fees at illogan Park, totaling £1,000. This investment is vital for us to continue providing a safe and welcoming environment for individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
At Speak Out United Mental Health FC, we believe in the transformative power of sport. Football serves as a platform that encourages people to step out of their homes, engage in physical activity, and connect with others in a low-pressure setting. With teams ranging from under-eights to seniors, including those with disabilities and flexible options, we cater to a diverse group of participants. Our mission is simple yet profound: to enhance mental health through the joy of playing football.
Over the past few years, we have successfully raised over £8,000 for local charities through our annual Mental Health Cup. This initiative not only supports vital community services but also highlights our commitment to making a positive impact. Our fundraising efforts are crucial, especially as we aim to keep our participation fees low. Financial barriers can deter individuals from engaging in activities that can significantly improve their mental well-being, and we strive to alleviate that burden.
Our club operates under the mantra of "Be Kind, Spread Love, Be You," a philosophy that permeates every aspect of our organization. We have seen remarkable participation, with over 250 men and 150 children taking part in our senior and youth teams, respectively. This growing community demonstrates the desire for connection and support among individuals facing mental health challenges.
As we prepare for the upcoming season, we are seeking generous donations to help cover the pitch costs at Illogan Park. Whether it’s £1 or £100, every contribution makes a difference and helps us continue our mission. We understand that financial strain affects many, and our goal is to ensure that everyone has access to the benefits of playing football without the added stress of high fees.
In addition to seeking donations, we welcome creative ideas for fundraising. We have set up a crowdfunding campaign to help us reach our financial goals. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

Your support is invaluable, and we look forward to another successful season of football, friendship, and community engagement.
