World Mental Health Day

To mark World Mental Health Day, Everton in the Community hosted another hugely successful national football tournament on Monday.

Goals Sports Centre in Netherton played host to the National Mental Health Football Championships, which involved 20 teams from across the United Kingdom.

The annual event is organised to raise awareness of World Mental Health Day and the benefits that football and physical activity can have on a person’s mental health wellbeing.
