We’re incredibly proud to share that Headspace FC CIC has been nominated for a UK Enterprise Award by SME News.

“Each year, we keep our eyes peeled for the UK’s grafters, leaders and innovators in preparation for this esteemed flagship programme, and your work in Community Sports & Mental Health stood out.”

To be recognised for our work in Community Sports & Mental Health means so much. What started as a simple idea — using football to bring people together and support mental wellbeing — has grown into a powerful community built on connection, conversation and encouragement.

Whether we win the award or not, we are incredibly grateful that the work we’re doing to raise awareness and support mental health is being recognised.

This nomination belongs to every single member who turns up, supports one another as well as all our supporters that make Headspace FC what it is.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

Tonight, during another fully booked Headspace FC session, I took a moment to step back and just watch.

36 people. Two pitches. Ages 18 to 50+. Different backgrounds and abilities, all sharing the same space.

What stood out wasn’t the goals or the results… it was the smiles. The laughter. The encouragement. Teammates supporting each other, checking in, lifting each other up.

In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride. Pride in how far we’ve come. Pride in the community we’ve built. Pride in the opportunities and support we’re creating for people who may never have met without this group.

This is more than football. It’s connection. It’s support. It’s a space where you don’t have to do life alone.

If you’ve been thinking about joining, take this as your sign. Drop us a message and come and see what Headspace FC is all about

A massive thank you to all our members for paying their playing subs (plus more) and those who have also donated during February.

As a result we have raised £1100 over this month which will be split between Man Time and North Staffs Mind to support mental health across the area.

Great to see one of our members and our official photographer Jt photography capturing brilliant photos of Port Vale FC.

Give him a follow and of your ever after photos for your clubs etc give him a message. Excellent photos, brilliant service and a great lad!

Talking or being vulnerable is not weakness. You are stronger being vulnerable than you are building a brick wall that is a facade.

It’s okay to not be okay — and it takes courage to say it out loud. Vulnerability isn’t a weakness… it’s strength. If you’re feeling weighed down or alone, please don’t shut yourself in — reach out, speak up, and connect with someone.

As well as ourselves there are some great mental health support groups in the area who can offer support to anyone who would like to reach out.
