"We are incredibly proud of our community.

"We have seen so many people suffer so much in the past and now see them rise, achieve their dreams and become the very best that they can be.

"Seeing people reach their potential and shine is just amazing."

Jason said that Men-Talk now holds regular sessions with 16 to 18-year-olds at the Chesterfield FC academy to promote positive mental well-being.
