We have a series of fundraising events arranged in May and June, supporting Herts Mind Network, who deliver essential mental health support in Hertfordshire, providing a diverse range of services from seven Wellbeing Centres and other venues across all ten districts of the county. Funded locally, Mind’s services are available to all residents in Hertfordshire over the age of 18, as well as providing dedicated services for 10-18 year olds.
Throughout the months of May and June, everyone who registers to play our weekly Monday or Thursday football sessions will be offered an opportunity to round up their participation fee, with the extra funds being collected and donated to Mind. We are also playing two fundraising games, full 11-a-side matches over 90 minutes at Vauxhall Road. These games will generate funds and raise awareness for Mind and positive mental health.
Previous Charity Events:
We recognised World Mental Health Day on 10th October 2022, which coincided with our weekly Monday night football session, by raising funds for Herts Mind Network, £400 from our participation fees from the Monday 10th October session was donated to Mind.
Previously this year, our 9th May 2022 session coincided with Mental Health awareness week. As we’ve received grateful support from CALM through their Caring United campaign, all participation fees from that session were donated to CALM. We raised £400 for the charity.
- The Tudors Supporters Club donated £170 to Dacorum homeless people charity DENS, after the funds were raised by “Community Kickabout” participants for the 21st December 2020 session. Even though the session was cancelled due to restrictions imposed the day before the session by Tier 4 measures, all participants were willing to still go ahead with donating their fees to DENS. Read about about it here.
- We raised funds for Herts Mind Network via our Community Walkabout lockdown fitness initiative, which encouraged local people to get active. Hertfordshire Mind Network delivers essential mental health support in Hertfordshire, providing a diverse range of services from seven Wellbeing Centres and other venues across all ten districts of the county. We exceeded our original £100 target, and our donations page remains open.
- We raised funds for Herts Mind Network again in December 2021, once again donating the participant fees for our “Christmas Kickabout” which on this occasion totalled £230. We rounded this up to £250 when we made the donation to Mind.
