Testimonials

Stories of Hope

Real stories from the men we support and the community that stands with them.

"ETS dropped for me at a perfect time, great support and has helped my mental health a lot. Several colleagues at work have also used this service and are very grateful too."

Colin G

Member

"Since going to ETS Come for a Kickabout, my wife and I have seen a massive increase in my mental health, as I am now able to open up and talk about my problems more with her."

Jamie Milnes

Member

"Since joining the ETS group, it has really helped me in so many different ways. I feel happier in myself. Playing football and letting off some steam, meeting new people and having a chat after - it's something I look forward to on a Monday night. Credit to all of them for organising it."

Craig

Member

"Post a suicide attempt, I started attending the ETS events. Through Sean's Group, Community Football in partnership with Mansfield Town FC CT, to breakfast, comedy nights and just 'being there', I was able to rebuild myself from a dark place. Life's positive now and I have new tools and contacts to help if needs be. Talking made the difference."

Richard

Member

"After suffering a mental breakdown 10 years ago, I isolated myself from everyone except my family. This led to me attempting to take my own life 3 years ago. After that I struggled with life in general, until I was invited to a ETS Come for Kickabout and chat. For me to go was a big deal, but was worth it in every way to have people who listen and not judge. They check in on you, and ask for nothing in return. It feels like you have real mates. Without these guys I feel a part of something."
