One of the participants of a Head in the Game programme, Jacob Smith, recently organised a mini tournament as a reunion event for his old school Oakwood Park Grammar.
The 6-a-side tournament, held at Valley Park School, saw four teams battle it out in a round-robin format, including a 3rd/4th place play-off. The final was settled by a penalty shoot out.
The evening included a talk from Colin Jones, who explained about the important work being undertaken by MindStones and Head in the Game, raise awareness of the schemes available to assist mens with their mental health.

The event raised over £500, which will be shared between MindStones and Head in the Game.
Thank you Jacob, your support is greatly appreciated!
