Positive Pilgrims

Our Positive Pilgrims group aims to improve social inclusion and wellbeing, as well as tackling discrimination and stigma.

Working in partnership with various organisations, we hold weekly sport sessions to raise physical activity levels in a fun and friendly environment.

Research has demonstrated the positive impacts of regular exercise for people suffering with mental health problems, and our Positive Pilgrims programme aims to develop confidence, self esteem, sense of belonging, health and wellbeing, and increase social acceptance and interaction for people who suffer with mental health, through various sports sessions.

Our sessions are led by fully qualified coaches who have undergone enhanced DBS checks and are fully First Aid trained.

Positive Pilgrims have two football training sessions on our 3G pitch. Every session consists of a warm-up, skill practise and finishes with a game.

All bookings are made on a referral basis from the mental health service. Please contact Lewis Wright on 01205 364406 / 07931 311345 or email lewis.wright@bufc.co.uk for more information.

Sessions are £5 and take place on Mondays 7pm to 8pm and Tuesdays 9.30am to 10.30am.
