I am sad to share the news that I will be leaving Street Soccer Scotland at the end of March. I was informed recently that my contract as Mental Health Officer/Worker will not be renewed due to issues with funding.
I leave with many great memories of working with players to support them with their mental health, and I am proud to have tried hard to influence positive change within the organisation regarding mental health and wellbeing support and training for staff (including volunteers) and programme development.
I am currently in the process of talking to players and colleagues regarding my exit plan, and if anyone has any questions or needs any information over the coming weeks, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
I wish all of the players and all of the staff team well for the future.
