Red Neighbours host Mental Health Awareness Week get-together

To mark the end of Mental Health Awareness Week 2019, the two sides got together for a competitive kick about and a post-match social event alongside Red Neighbours' walking netball team.

Imagine Independence’s CEO, Margaret Hanson, spoke to the group about the ways in which mental health issues can affect both men and women, how to practise self-care and the positive effect physical activity can have on mental wellbeing.

The teams then spent time socialising over some post-match refreshments before enjoying an upbeat sing-a-long led by LFC’s Club Chaplain and Red Neighbours team member, Bill Bygroves.

"Having Imagine Independence here to talk about the work they do with those suffering from mental health issues has been really inspiring, and it’s made everyone feel more comfortable with talking about their own issues,” said Bill.
