AWARD WINNERS….. AGAIN!!!
Last night Mental Health FC CIC won its SECOND award for the ‘Choose Kindness Award’ (North locality) at the Heart of Doncaster Awards 2024 by ClubDoncaster Foundation 🤯
Just a reminder that MHFC only started 16 months ago!! 😮
Five of us went to the awards night, with this award we had no idea if we’d won or not, either we were just delighted to have been recognised, never mind a finalist or even win the award.
It was a massive challenge for me personally as events at night in a busy, in a room I’ve never been in before, that was a loud room with people I don’t know is a huge anxiety trigger for me.
Fortunately, it was at the stadium which I was very familiar with, I knew I could leave at any time, it was local and I had very supportive people with me (Mark, Levi, Carl and Andy) 🤗
I was extremely anxious to start and struggling but over time I relaxed and enjoyed it, spoke to old friends and made new connections (Terri Harper, ADMT, Sally Jameson, Andrew Cunningham, Kieran Coates to name a few), it was a great night and I stayed till the end 😊
I also went up onto the stage to collect the award and even spoke to answer questions while up on stage in front of the whole room 😳
This morning I woke up tired after getting home at 11:30pm but I woke up without a headache which is a massive bonus to say how big this was for me and my anxiety 👍
I’m sharing the extra info about myself and my anxiety to hopefully show others that with the right support and patience with yourself, you can do things even if at the start you feel anxious and that the “flight” option is there to take….. YOU’VE GOT THIS!! 💪
The awards only give me and MHFC more drive to keep going, improving, growing and developing and with the main focus of reaching, helping and supporting as many people we can through football around the UK.
Thank you to everyone who nominated MHFC and for all the ongoing support 🙌
