⚽💚 What a fantastic day!

On Saturday 20 June, staff, families and supporters came together for a 12-hour football match to raise money for our wellbeing and social inclusion initiative, MindGreen and support staff wellbeing.

The day was filled with great football, plenty of community spirit and fantastic support from everyone who came along to cheer on the players. 👏

A huge thank you to Eddy Taylor for helping to organise the event, and to Michael DePass and Alice Blades for baking some amazing cakes and organising the raffle. Your hard work helped make the day such a success! 🧁🎟️

The fundraising isn't over yet! If you'd like to support MindGreen, there's still time to donate via the link below. Every contribution makes a difference. 💚
