Leeds United link up with Andy's Man Club | OneFootball

Leeds United are proud to be supporting Andy’s Man Club as we aim to raise essential awareness around Time To Talk Day, which takes place one day ahead of our home clash against Nottingham Forest.

Time To Talk Day is marked on Thursday 5th February and it is the UK’s biggest mental health conversation, encouraging everyone to have open discussions about mental health to reduce the stigma around the difficult topic and build further understanding.

The club will welcome representatives from Andy’s Man Club to Elland Road for the Premier League fixture on Friday evening, with volunteers on hand to chat with supporters who will be in attendance for the game, offering them an outlet and providing plenty of information around the services they provide. Through linking up with Andy's Man Club, the hope is to demonstrate Leeds United’s commitment to supporting everyone involved with the club, inspiring people to talk to each other, check in on one another, and start positive conversations that ensures no-one ever feels alone.
