On Saturday 16th November, Watford Football Club’s Community Sports and Education Trust, in partnership with Three Rivers District Council, will be hosting an event dedicated to men’s mental and physical health, at Vicarage Road Stadium as part of Hornets Together.
Partnerships Support Officer at Three Rivers District Council, Rachael Sheppard, has summarised the event:
“We’re aiming to raise awareness of the health issues predominantly faced by men, as well as all the different types of support that are available locally, by holding an engaging and insightful event which all members of the public are welcome to register to attend.”
This event in the hospitality lounge, The View, will include a range of presentations, guest speakers, and informative stalls from local organisations. Attendees will then have the chance to walk around and find out information about the services available to them. Organisations include Three Rivers Healthy Hubs, Watford Healthy Hubs, Man Made, Imatter, The Ollie Foundation, Mend, and others. Additionally, the Better Health Bus will be parked up at the stadium – this is a new mobile health bus, equipped for free health checks, stop smoking support, and information and advice to people across the county to help them improve their health and wellbeing.
The ‘Men’s Health’ event will be concluded with a stadium tour for those who would like to see behind the scenes at the home of Watford FC. Food and drinks will also be provided for attendees.
This is being delivered as part of Hornets Together, a new health and wellbeing project connecting Watford FC fans with access to free monthly face-to-face mental and physical health workshops. This programme is supported by the Premier League Fans Fund. The Premier League Fans Fund provides grants to support football clubs at all levels of the game to strengthen connections between them, their fans, and local communities.
