Game of II Halves is our mental health and suicide prevention programme funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. Working with key partner Samaritans of Sunderland, the project aims to work with 16+ working or living within Sunderland to become Game of II Halves Ambassadors, equipping them with skills confidence and knowledge to promote positive mental health messages and reducing stigma associated with self-harm and suicide. 

The programme will include a range of activities and workshops, including SHUSH + training, developing listening and conversation skills through Samaritans of Sunderland, monthly workshops, dedicated SAFC match days and more!
