Online and in-person workshops
Alongside the football sessions, we’re offering a series of free workshops in partnership with R;pple and NE London Mind / Safe Connections. The four scheduled workshops ahead of Christmas address key topics such as harmful online searches, self-care, boundaries, Christmas and mental health, and self-harm awareness:
11 November - R;pple: Transforming harmful online searches into a journey of hope
26 November - Mind NE London Safe Connections: Self-care and boundaries
10 December - Mind NE London Safe Connections: Christmas and mental health
17 December - Mind NE London Safe Connections: Self-harm awareness
These workshops will be delivered online, with the view to hosting in-person sessions based on the needs of participants.
Speaking about R;pple’s involvement, Alice Hendy MBE, Founder and CEO of R;pple, said: “We’re thrilled to be part of the Together Against Suicide initiative. Together with the West Ham United Foundation and fellow charities, we’re bringing hope and support to those at risk of suicide one match, one conversation and one life at a time.”
Bernadette Keane, Chief Executive of Mind in Tower Hamlets, Newham & Redbridge, echoed this statement. She said: “At Mind in Tower Hamlets, Newham & Redbridge, we believe connection saves lives. Together, we’re tackling stigma, building resilience and showing that every conversation can make a difference.”
