We had an amazing day yesterday celebrating International Men’s Day 2019! We saw over 80 men gather together and create a wonderful, supportive atmosphere to openly talk about mental health.

Darren Bee the NW Time to Change Lead for Communities and Equalities spoke about the Time to Change campaign. Time to Change is a growing social movement working to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems.

Mind and EFL #OnYourSide Partnership World Mental Health Day

Mind logo to feature on all EFL football shirts next season

Rochdale Mind is proud to say that we have partnered with Rochdale Football Club to promote Mental Health.

Mind’s logo will appear on the shirts of all 72 EFL clubs next season as part of the new style names and numbers being launched for the 2018/19 campaign.

The iconic new design will for the first time in English football, incorporate a charity’s logo into the player name on the back of every EFL shirt across all 72 Clubs in the Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One and Sky Bet League Two.

The squiggle part of Mind’s logo will be joined into the first letter of the player name – with the player’s name replacing the Mind wording – in a unique design to celebrate the new partnership which sees Mind become the EFL’s new Official Charity Partner from the start of the next season. 

In a ground-breaking new partnership the EFL and Mind will be joining forces from the beginning of 2018/19 to use the power of football to help improve the nation’s mental wellbeing.

With one in four individuals affected by mental health problems, the EFL will work with its network of 72 clubs and community trusts to promote Mind’s message and services to millions nationwide with four ambitions to promote better mental health.  The partnership will look to focus on the following areas:

  • Support for EFL players, managers and staff 
  • raise awareness about mental health with fans, clubs and staff 
  • raise funds to deliver life changing support 
  • improve the approach to mental health in the EFL, in  football  and in wider society

Mind were chosen to become the EFL’s Official Charity Partner from the start of the 2018/19 season on an initial two-year basis.

A full launch of the new names and numbers will take place before the start of the new EFL season.

Britain In Bloom 2018 Finalist

Rochdale in Bloom Scoops Prestigious Gold at National RHS Britain in Bloom Awards

Rochdale was named as a finalist in the North West region in the Small City category in the Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) 2018 Britain in Bloom competition. Now in its 54th year, the nationwide competition pits rural villages, urban corners and city centres against one another across a range of criteria that includes horticultural know-how, community engagement, efforts to bolster biodiversity and climate change adaptation.

Finalists are put forward to the national final based on their progress locally and scored by a team of RHS national judges in the summer, this year the finalists competed across 12 categories.

A new awards category was introduced for town and city centres in 2018 in recognition of the vital role of green spaces in urban areas and their positive impact on health and wellbeing, flood prevention and wildlife. 

Chairman of the Britain in Bloom judging panel, Darren Share said: “The Britain in Bloom campaign galvanises communities and provides the driving force for thousands of gardening enthusiasts across the country. 

“Britain in Bloom groups work tirelessly throughout the year to tackle local issues and improve the place they call home. Everyone benefits from the work these groups carry out and I have seen first-hand the positive impact Britain in Bloom has in bringing communities together.” 

The RHS Britain in Bloom judges have visited the finalists in August with the winners of each category and finalists’ final score – ranging from Gold to Bronze – announced at an awards ceremony in Belfast on 19 October. 

Rochdale has obtained Gold Award in the small city category.  Well done to everyone involved in achieving this.

Mental health issues do not go away just because it's this time of year, in fact they can heighten.
To help people in our area for 2020, why not give a regular monthly donation to help our service users get the right help when they need it. We'd like to thank all our fundraisers who have donated this year, you are superb and we couldn't run our service without you.
