Freedom of Information request Mental Health information support

Response published: 11 March 2025

FOI Request

I am a Football Development Officer (Disability Pathway) at Gloucestershire Football Association. I am emailing as I am looking to find out if there is anyone from our local NHS foundation trust and supporting networks to help upskill my knowledge around Mental Health statistics within the county of Gloucestershire. This information will be used to further support an application for a large funding project to hopefully provide new and accessible Mental Health football teams across the County. If you are able to help or point me in the right direction of who to talk to, that would be greatly appreciated.
