We were delighted to team up with Cambridge United Football Club on Saturday 29th February, as part of the national Mind and English Football League (EFL) #OnYourSide partnership, to raise £674.76 towards promoting positive mental health in our local community.

Our wonderful volunteers headed to the home game against Carlisle United at the Abbey Stadium for a bucket collection, following a similar trip to Peterborough United in January, to greet the 4,000 supporters in attendance. As well as presenting a fantastic fundraising opportunity, it was also a great chance to raise awareness through our interactions with fans.

At the match, Cambridge United players warmed up in our CPSL Mind shirts and inspirational groundsman Ian Darler, who has lived experience of mental health problems, treated the crowd to the Mind logo cut into the pitch as well as painted onto the walls of the stadium making sure everyone took notice of the occasion.
