'We want you to support someone else': Chelsea boss Frank Lampard fronts new mental health campaign as he urges fans to 'make that call or send that WhatsApp' to check in on friends and family following difficult 2020

Frank Lampard is supporting the launch of a new mental health initiative called 'Support Someone Else', which encourages people to reach out and provide support to loved ones over the festive period.

The partnership between Chelsea, sponsors Three and Three's longstanding mental health charity partner Time to Change is encouraging people to pick up the phone and contact people, who you may not even realise are struggling.

A recent research report by Time to Change found that on average, men have three fewer people in their support network since the pandemic hit, with some men citing not being able to meet face-to-face - like at a football match - as a reason they had fewer people to turn to - and Lampard is fully supportive of this message.
