A season of support
With the new season in full flow, West Ham United is making mental health awareness an integral part of the matchday experience. By combining stadium signposting, community programmes and partnerships with leading charities, the Club is helping ensure that every supporter knows they are not alone.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Text SHOUT to 85258 for free, confidential support. And if you’re attending a match at London Stadium, look out for the information and resources available which will connect you to the help you need.
Extending support beyond matchdays
The matchday programme at London Stadium will be complemented by ‘Play for Tomorrow’, a new community-led mental health project delivered by the Foundation at The Foundry.
Weekly football sessions for people living with mental health challenges - including those at risk of suicide - will combine physical activity with safe spaces for peer support, reflection and resilience building.
Workshops co-designed with participants will focus on coping strategies, emotional regulation and access to professional help, ensuring that the programme is shaped around lived experience.
