Sports Coaching Group will today (Friday, October 10) be supporting World Mental Health Day – a vital date in the calendar to raise awareness and remind people everywhere that no-one is alone in their journey with mental health.
At Sports Coaching Group, we are proud to stand alongside YoungMinds and their powerful #HelloYellow campaign, which highlights the importance of supporting young people and encouraging open conversations about wellbeing.
For us, sport has always been about more than just physical activity. It is a vehicle for connection, confidence, and community.
The same values that help children develop skills on the pitch or in the classroom can also help to nurture resilience and support positive mental health.
That’s why we believe it’s so important to show our commitment on days like this.
Today, our teams across Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire will be wearing yellow to show solidarity and to remind children, families, and communities that it’s okay to talk about mental health.
A small act, such as wearing a colour, can make a big statement: ‘You are not alone, and there is always support available.’
By joining #HelloYellow, we’re not only backing a campaign but also reinforcing the work we do every day – creating safe, supportive spaces for children to enjoy sport, build friendships, and feel part of something positive.
