DANNY COWLEY JOINS TEAM TALK FOR MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK

As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, Colchester United manager Danny Cowley visited our Team Talk session on Friday to show his support for the programme our participants.

Team Talk is a free weekly initiative offering a blend of relaxed football and social time designed to help adults improve both their mental and physical wellbeing.

Each session includes a 30-minute social element followed by an hour of football, giving participants the chance to talk, connect and stay active in a friendly, welcoming environment.

Danny spent time chatting with participants before joining in with the match. His involvement brought a real lift to the session and created a memorable experience for everyone who attended.

Head of Health & Inclusion, Louis Garbett, said:

"It’s so important that people feel supported in looking after their mental health, and having Danny come in, share his experiences and engage with participants really reinforces that message in a powerful and relatable way."

Team Talk continues to grow as a supportive space for adults across Colchester, helping people build confidence, form friendships and enjoy the benefits of regular physical activity.

Interested in joining? The sessions take place at Shrub End Community and Sports Centre every Friday at 5.30pm-7.00pm.
