HeadStart runs two friendly, non-competitive sessions each week across Merseyside. You are welcome to attend either session or come along to both.
"When I first took part in a Headstart session I didn’t know what to expect. I’m not the most outgoing person so I was very anxious to go. After I got there I found everyone to be very nice and once we started I noticed how inclusive they were as a collective. They got everyone involved it didn’t matter gender or ability they included everyone and got everyone involved in the session. Overall I’d say HeadStart is very welcoming and very fun to be a part of."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who can attend the sessions?
We welcome everyone to our sessions, regardless of age, gender, background or football ability.
We’ll do a short mental wellbeing check-in to make sure our sessions are the right fit for you and that we can support you safely.
Do I need a mental-health diagnosis to attend?
Headstart is a community wellbeing service, and you do not need a formal diagnosis to get in touch. The team will have a friendly conversation with you before your first session to make sure the sessions are suitable.
What if I can't afford the sessions?
If you are unable to afford the fee, please contact us. We are committed to making our sessions accessible and will discuss how we can support you.
What other activities do we do?
At the moment, we only offer two weekly football sessions. However, we’re planning to expand so we can provide more football sessions and other social activities in the future.
Can I bring anyone with me?
Participants are welcome to bring someone along for support, whether they want to watch or join in with the session.
How do I become a volunteer?
If you’d like to volunteer with us, simply get in touch with us. We’ll arrange a quick chat to learn more about your interests and discuss how you can get involved. We’re always excited to welcome new people to the team.
