Boston United FC Community Foundation – Positive Pilgrims (Multi-sport)

19 December 2022 @ 18:00 - 19:00

Free

The Positive Pilgrims project helps engage adults who experience mental health issues in Lincolnshire by using the power of sport and the Boston United Football Club brand to create exciting pathways into training, volunteering and employment.

Positive Pilgrims also aims to improve social inclusion and wellbeing, as well as tackling discrimination and stigma.

Working in partnership with organisations such as Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trust, CAMHS and Spurgeons, we hold weekly sports sessions to raise physical activity levels in a fun and friendly environment.

Research has demonstrated the positive impacts of regular exercise for people suffering from mental health problems, and our Positive Pilgrims programme aims to develop confidence, self-esteem, a sense of belonging, health and wellbeing, and increase social acceptance and interaction for people who suffer from mental health, through various sports sessions.

If you would like to get involved, you or someone you care for have to have had some experience of poor mental health. For more information and to come along to these sessions, please contact Lewis Wright on 01205 364406 or email: [email protected].
