39: Communities of Hope: The Dutchy Project


Listen Later

After a close friend died by suicide aged 18, six friends got together to mark his 40th and see what they could do to help prevent future suicides in Blackely and Moston.

Hear from Toni and Ben how their goal to boost mental health led them to kick-start a Dutchy football team getting lads together, talking and tackling mental health. 

Beyond the football team, Toni shares information on the charity's weekly physical activity sessions, and their aims for the next ten years.
