Big Hearts Community promotes mental health through the power of football

It is easy to talk about the beautiful game – whether it is pre-match tactics, the team selection, or post-match analysis with fellow Jambos. But men also need to get the things that are really bothering them off their chests.

Big Hearts is proud to deliver The Changing Room, a mental health programme in partnership with SAMH and the SPFL Trust. This 12-week programme uses the power of football to tackle poor mental health, supporting men in their middle years to open up, improving their mental health and improving their lives. The Changing Room is open to men aged 30 to 64 and offers participants opportunities to meet up, engage in activities together and start positive conversations about their mental health and wellbeing.

“The Changing Room has literally saved my life! When I come home after the group, I feel amazing.”
