We are delighted to collaborate with West Ham United and Leyton Orient on Advantage, a new mental health improvement scheme for young people across London.
Football clubs across London have come together under the umbrella of London United to tackle some of the key issues resulting from COVID-19.
With increasing evidence that mental health problems are one of the main consequences of the ongoing pandemic, we will work with NHS specialists to develop coordinated support for young people to improve their self-esteem, create a better sense of connection and provide opportunities to get back on track.
The Advantage programme will focus on improving education, employment options and physical activity, to help the youngsters with the transition from lockdown to a ‘new normal’ in a more uncertain world.
