Project Title – Good Mood League

16

Project outline The Trust has its own football league for adults 18+ who use our services – it is called the Good Mood Football League.The league enables people with an interest in football of varying levels of ability and at different stages of the rehabilitation process to access the sport. Teams are made up of players who have all used mental health services.Following the success of previous Good Mood League seasons, the project has increased the frequency of the activities offered to create a new league structure. Coaching and refereeing training is also offered to allow service users to participate in a variety of ways along with playing in the games.Not only is taking part in the Good Mood League an opportunity to play football, by taking part we hope to encourage people to: increase their motivation increase their physical health and wellbeing boost their mood and psychological wellbeing

As participants are encouraged to become more involved in the running of the league, the development of tournaments and ideas for future activities, we hope to also increase skills which they may be able to utilise in a voluntary role in the future.

Who is this project for? For adults 18+ who use any of SWYPFT’s services.
