Duke is joined by Jacob Kelly who heads up the Recovery Through Sport programme which provide football sessions for those with mental health conditions and has been supported by Gas-men past and present.

The project won the Project of the Year Award at the Gloucestershire Football Association and McDonald's Grassroots Football Awards 2020 and has been going from strength to strength.

Jacob shares why football is so powerful in helping people with mental health conditions and shares how former Rovers stars, Stuart Sinclair, Chris Lines and James Clarke have gone above and beyond in their ambassador roles. The likes of Darrell Clarke and Ellis Harrison have given up their time to help as well.

If you have been affected by anything that was discussed please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/mental-health-helplines/ for a list of organisations that can help.
