Q1. What does good mental health look like to you?
Q2. What does C9 bring to you ?
We look forward to sharing these with you, Team C9.
We are absolutely delighted to announce we are partnering up with Pounds To Pitches!
‘P2P’ are a non-profit club, set up to provide a safe space for men to utilise football as a means to get fitter and healthier. Akin to our own mission, improving overall wellness, ‘P2P’ offers this in a competitive way, as each team battles it out in a league format.
As a partner, we will be on hand to provide mental health support, signposting where required, for those participating within this setup.

What is AmazonSmile?
It is a way customers of Amazon can support their favourite charities at no extra cost to the customer. Amazon have listed millions of items via their site/app which can qualify for AmazonSmile. Once purchased, 0.5% of the total paid (excluding delivery, gift wrapping etc) per purchase will be donated to the charity of your choosing.

One of the biggest fundraising platforms, and now you can fundraise for us on it.

Last night we received correspondence from the Groundwork UK team, who run the Bags of Help scheme with Tesco. They have advised that the blue tokens will be removed from stores due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This will help prevent physical contact points for staff and customers a like within the stores, a means to help prevent spreading any cases within the stores. This is a decision we support.
We have also been advised, that the 3 charities/groups will receive a third of the grant available, and will be awarded up to £1,166 (depending on the amount applied for). As we had applied for the max £2,000, we will be receiving this full amount of £1,166.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has kindly shown support for us, and popped tokens in for us. We would also like to thank Tesco & Groundwork UK for this amazing amount, which will help us continue our work within our communities.
We are delighted to announce our brand new kit, courtesy of Deliveroo.
Through The Gift of Kit, we have been provided with 14 kits, to help us tackle stigma within grassroots football through our awareness team, the #C9FC.

We are delighted to announce that for the forthcoming season, the C9 Foundation will be the proud sponsor of our Ambassador Bryan Wharton’s kits.
