Welcome to the latest episode of It's Only A Game podcast.
With it being January and the festive period in the rear view mirror, the IOAG lads though it might be an idea to dedicate a recording about something quite important during this time of year: mental health. Joe (from Albion Obsessed) Has kindly joined us to talk about his involvement with Lancing Warriors/Mental Health United, designed to support those experiencing mental health issues either themselves or through a member of their family.
In partnership with Sussex FA Just Play, they host a selection of local kickabouts and community charity matches.
We've managed to discuss quite a lot during this recording and have decided to split the recording into two episodes, part 2 will be released next week.
Here are some key phone numbers and links which could help listeners.
Samaritans - 116123;
