Notts County Foundation, the charitable arm of Notts County Football Club, works with CEO Sleepout to address homelessness and promote mental health awareness.
The partnership between Notts County Foundation and CEO Sleepout has proven to be a powerful alliance. It has not only raised substantial funds but has also brought much-needed attention to the critical issue of homelessness. The funds raised from this partnership have been primarily directed towards the Foundation’s mental health programmes, recognising the interconnectedness of mental health and homelessness.
Mental health is both a cause and an effect of homelessness. Individuals experiencing mental health challenges are at a higher risk of becoming homeless due to difficulties in maintaining stable employment and relationships. The harsh conditions of homelessness can also worsen existing mental health issues or even trigger new ones. Notts County Foundation recognises this vicious cycle and strives to break it through our initiatives.
