Ahead of our opening home league match against Metropolitan Police we would like to offer a reminder that our offer of free entry to any home league match for anyone struggling with depression, loneliness, isolation or any other mental health condition remains in place for this season and beyond.

The offer is designed to give someone whose day to day struggles threaten to overwhelm them a distraction for a couple of hours through football, hopefully providing some respite from the ongoing and constant mental anguish they're experiencing and provide a warm welcome and safe environment for them to visit at a time when leaving the house and being in the company of others can often feel like an insurmountable obstacle.

Anyone wishing to come along to a home league game is invited to drop chairman Simon Lawrence an email at simon.hendon@btinternet.com and he will arrange entry.
