A rather wet day at Wealdstone where Heads up were helped by Head In The Game, club legends and fans to form a guard of honour as the players came out all to help break the stigma of mens mental health

Did we mention this?? 💚💚

[Head In The Game Charity @HITGCIO]

Last night, Head In The Game was honoured to be named winners of the 2025 @KentAwards in the Startup Charity category.

This award means so much to us. Anyone who has ever started a charity will know the countless hours, the sleepless nights, the sacrifices, and the determination it takes to keep going when the challenges feel overwhelming. To see that work recognised in this way is something very special.

We want ant to thank every single person who has been part of our journey so far.

•To every participant who has entrusted us with their mental fitness, it is your courage and openness that inspires us daily.

•To every member of staff who gives their time, energy, and passion to suicide prevention, often going far beyond what’s expected, thank you for your dedication.

•To every volunteer who has stood on a cold, wet, dark football pitch late at night, sometimes 30 or 40 miles from home, your commitment does not go unnoticed.

•To the businesses who have backed us, whether through in-work support, by choosing us as charity of the year, or by donating to keep our programmes running, you are part of this success.

•To our supporters who constantly talk about our work and remind others why charities like Head In The Game matter, your voice is powerful.

•To our incredible board of trustees who ensure we stay focused, compliant, and supported, always just a phone call away with advice and guidance, we couldn’t do this without you.

•To our marathon runners, cake bakers, raffle organisers, Euro sweepstake players, and every single fundraiser, you’ve all made a difference.

This award belongs to all of you. It is a reflection of the belief, the trust, and the community that has been built around Head In The Game.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. This means more than you will ever know.

The Day After World Suicide Prevention Day

This past week, we’ve spoken a lot about the impact of suicide and the importance of building our mental fitness.

But what does that actually look like in practice?

Sometimes, it’s as simple as signing up to a session and getting involved.

World Suicide Prevention Day 2025

This week, World Suicide Prevention Day on Wednesday 10th September. In the lead up, we’ll be sharing real words from people who have been supported through Head In The Game, highlighting the power of connection, support, and community.

Today we share this message as a reminder of the difference that having a safe space to talk can make.

"Before I signed up I was in a bad place and didn't have anyone I could talk to. My life has changed since and I feel like I'm living again. Just being a part of the group and knowing how to share how I feel has been so helpful."

At @HITGCIO we are committed to changing the narrative on suicide, one conversation at a time.
