Being Red: Ste Webster – ‘Finding my feet’

Following Mental Health Awareness Week, participants of Red Neighbours’ walking football programme have spoken about their experiences of mental health.

Ste Webster, 51, from Anfield, has been attending walking football twice-a-week for nearly two years.
