At Black and Proud, we believe that football is more than just a sport, it’s a tool for building connections, trust, and fostering better mental health, especially for men. Every Thursday night, we come together on the pitch at Forest Fields, Nottingham NG7 6HB, for our recurring football event. This isn’t just about playing a match; it’s about creating a space where people from all walks of life can unite under one umbrella: football.
In a world that can sometimes feel divided, football brings us together. It teaches teamwork, the power of collective responsibility, and the importance of trust. Whether you're scoring the winning goal or defending at the back, we all play a role in each other's success. This shared experience breaks down barriers, allowing people from diverse backgrounds to connect, communicate, and work as a team.
But it’s not just about the social connection. Moving your body, staying active, and being part of a team have powerful effects on mental health, especially for men, who often feel the pressure to keep their struggles bottled up. Exercise releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones, helping to reduce stress and improve mood. The friendships we build on the pitch offer a sense of belonging, reminding us that we don’t have to go through life alone.
Our Thursday night football is a safe, fun, and energetic way to support each other, get moving, and look after our mental health. So, whether you’re a seasoned footballer or just looking for a place to connect and exercise, come join us. At Black and Proud, we’re not just building better players, we’re building stronger, healthier communities.
