How we help support residents with our mental health schemes

Wednesday of this week marked World Suicide Prevention Day - and is a reminder that looking after your mental health matters and that no one should face challenges alone.

Blackpool FC Community Trust is helping local residents through a range of free or low-cost activities designed to improve wellbeing, build resilience and encourage connection.

'Get Vocal' is a safe, supportive space for men to talk openly about life's challenges, share experiences and find peer support.

Sessions take place at Bloomfield Road on Mondays (6pm-8pm) and Aspire Sports Hub on Tuesdays (5.30pm-7pm).

They are free of charge and there is no need to book, anyone wishing to attend can just turn up.

'Walk and Talk' is a weekly social walk to help combat loneliness, followed by an optional brew and chat at Blackpool Cricket Club.
