🌟 Boost Your Mental Well-being Through Football! 🌟 Poor mental health is a growing concern, but at the Cambridge United Foundation, we believe in the power of physical activity to make a difference. ⚽ Physical activity can help reduce tension, stress, and mental fatigue, giving us that much-needed natural energy boost to stay focused and calm. That’s why we’re running weekly football sessions for young adults who may be struggling with their mental health. 🧠💪 📅 Every Wednesday at 14:30 📍 Abbey Astro These sessions are a great way to get active, connect with others, and take a positive step toward better mental health. Whether you’re a football enthusiast or just looking for a supportive environment to feel more energised, we’d love to see you there! Interested in joining?

🧡 Tackling Loneliness, One Cup of Tea at a Time ☕ Did you know that nearly half of the over 65s in the UK rely on the TV or their pets as their main source of company? The issue of social isolation is real, and here in Cambridgeshire, it affects 24,500 older adults who live alone. At Cambridge United Foundation, we’re committed to changing that. 💪 Every month, we host a special Afternoon Tea at the iconic Caldara Abbey Stadium, where we bring people together to enjoy tea, cake, and most importantly—conversation. 🫖🍰 Lately, we’ve even had the pleasure of partnering with the wonderful Novotel Hotels Cambridge North, adding a touch of elegance to our monthly meet-ups. ✨ These events are more than just tea and treats. They’re about building connections, sharing stories, and combating loneliness one chat at a time. 🗣️💬 👉 If you or someone you know would love to join our next Afternoon Tea, please reach out at foundation@cambridgeunited.com. Let’s spread the word, bring people together, and make a difference in our community! 💛 #CommunitySupport #EndIsolation #LonelinessAwareness #AfternoonTea #CambridgeUnitedFoundation #SupportOlderAdults #MakeADifference #ConnectingCommunities #SocialImpact #TacklingLoneliness #CambridgeUK
