BACK ONSIDE’S PADEL TOURNAMENT 🎾

We are so excited to be hosting our first ever padel tournament at the BRAND NEW Racket Barn in Glasgow. Taking place on Thursday 4th June, raising vital funds for Back Onside’s mental health services. Email [email protected] to book!

[Back Onside @BackOnside]

For nearly 8 years since Back Onside was founded, we are still going into schools and providing vital Suicide Prevention Workshops — helping educate young people and equip them with the tools to look after themselves and support others.

These workshops focus on recognising early signs of struggle, knowing how to reach out for help, understanding safe ways to talk about suicide and mental health, and building confidence to check in on friends. Our aim is to empower pupils with practical knowledge, break the stigma and ensure they know where to turn if they ever need support.

If your school or organisation is interested in learning more or arranging a workshop, please contact [email protected]. We’d love to hear from you 💛

✨ BACK ONSIDE’S CHRISTMAS WISH LIST ✨

This Christmas, you can help make a difference with Back Onside’s Amazon Wish List.

We are supporting a growing number of service users who are under significant financial pressure this year and we’re doing everything we can to ensure that they, and their children, receive something special over the festive period.

For many of the individuals we support, gifts at Christmas aren’t luxuries, they’re essential items that many of us might take for granted. Simple things like toiletries, small toys for their child or vouchers for basic household items can bring comfort, dignity, and relief during a particularly challenging period.

We know first-hand the huge impact these small gestures can have on someone’s mental health, especially during the festive season, which can be overwhelming for those already struggling.

Today, we’re asking if you can please browse the list, pick a gift, and help make someone’s Christmas a little brighter. Every item on the list goes directly to someone in need, offering support and a reminder that they are not alone.

Thank you in advance 💛

Today, we’re sharing Andrew’s story.

When Andrew was experiencing the toughest times of his life, Back Onside was his lifeline. Back Onside supported him when he felt there was no way out, and we are so beyond proud of how far he has come.

It was Andrew’s story that inspired us to create our advert in line with the “More Than Just a Brew” campaign. For Andrew, that first coffee on a very bad night changed everything for him.

Please, donate to Back Onside today, to help us help more people like Andrew.

Thank you Andrew for sharing your story 💛

Last week, we presented a Suicide Prevention Workshop to @balfronhighsc , one of our local schools, as part of the Sandy Holroyd Memorial Rugby Tournament 💛

The workshop included chats about all things mental health and wellness, and opportunities for pupils to share, with our Clinical Lead Jane and personal development coach Amanda.

We’re hugely impressed at the participation of the senior pupils, and are grateful for their commitment to our workshop and their own personal mental wellbeing.

If you’re interested in hosting a Mental Health workshop at your school, club or workplace, email [email protected] today.

We’d love to hear from you 👋🏽

💛 We Stand With Skye 💛

It breaks our hearts to hear that @KilmarnockFC Ladies new signing, Skye Stout, on what should have been the happiest day of her life had it ruined by cruel online comments about her skin condition. It’s just wrong that the club were forced to remove their post because of such terrible comments.

Signing your first professional contract should be a moment of pure joy – not one overshadowed by negativity. 💔

At Back Onside, we know how deeply words can impact mental health. So today, we’re sending Skye all our love, strength, and support ❤️ Let’s show Syke that the real football family stands together.

Please send her a message below to wish her a bright and successful future — both on and off the pitch.

Ever grabbed a coffee without thinking twice? Most of us do - and it costs around £5.

But today, that same £5 could help someone facing a mental health struggle feel seen, heard, and supported. By donating the price of a coffee, you can help fund vital mental health support for those who need it most.

No big gestures. Just one small sacrifice - visit our website now to find out more and to donate.

At Back Onside, we are committed to supporting individuals facing serious mental health challenges- including those who feel there’s no way forward.

Anthony’s story is a powerful and deeply moving reminder of the reality many people live with in silence.

With the help of Back Onside, Anthony began the journey to recovery, finding not only stability but the confidence to speak out and help others.

We are incredibly grateful to Anthony for sharing his story with such honesty and bravery. Stories like his break the stigma and can genuinely save lives.

Thank you Anthony 💛 @bigants1902
