Colchester United FCInside Right Football Programme
Inside Right – A Mental Health & Wellbeing Football Programme for Young Service Veterans
The aim of the Inside Right football project is to encourage ex-service men and women aged 20-50 years old to meet up in a fun and friendly environment and become a part of our weekly football sessions at Colchester United Football Club run by CUCST staff.
Our sessions will offer the opportunity to:
- Play football matches weekly in a structured environment
- Keep fit and healthy
- Socialise with other ex-service men and women
- Get involved with football coaching through volunteering
- Take part in FA Level 1 coaching courses
- See behind the scenes at the Weston Homes Community Stadium (home of Colchester United F.C.)
- Watch Colchester United F.C. play at a home match
- Gain support in accessing mental health & wellbeing services and welfare support
Colchester United is one of only five clubs nationally to be delivering this project alongside:
Chelsea F.C, Everton F.C, Lincoln City F.C. and Portsmouth F.C..
