One of the main areas in which we offer support to residents in Sandwell, is through our Team Talk project, which is run by our Wellbeing department. Click here to find out more.
Team Talk is a weekly programme aimed at men aged 18 and over in Sandwell, with weekly tournament style matches taking place at Portway Lifestyle Centre, as well as informal workshops and activities that will share information around other services that can support better mental health.
The programme is completely free of charge due to funding from Sandwell Public Health and aims to improve the health and wellbeing of the Sandwell community, with an all-inclusive environment in place and everyone welcome.
Earlier this year, the Team Talk project was presented with The Birmingham County FA Recognition Award for Wellbeing Project of the Year.To date we’ve welcomed almost 200 players to the programme and have delivered over 8,200 hours of group support for those suffering with their mental health.
The Albion Foundation also hosted the inaugural Birmingham County FA Mental Health League event in January, following this up with a football festival in April, where eight clubs from across the Midlands came together at Portway Lifestyle Centre to play football and support each other's mental health in a positive environment.
