There has been a lot of talk recently regarding the prevalence of suicide amongst young people. Indeed we at Pontefract understand all too well what it means to lose someone in this way. We wanted to be able to support any member or anyone else for that matter who may need it, but we were not quite sure how to go about this. That's when we found LooseHeadz.

LooseHeadz is a mental health charity (#1193051) with the aim of normalising the conversation to #TackleTheStigma that surrounds mental health. They are aimed specifically at rugby clubs and players

We will be providing more information about this partnership and please keep an eye on the noticeboards at the club. In the meantime if you feel like you need to talk please use the confidential free text service to arrange a conversation with a trained volunteer.

We want LooseHeadz to represent everyone. We want this to be a club-wide approach from age grade rugby, right through to vets, and beyond.

If you know someone who needs help show them this - you never know. You might just save a life.
