Special event hosted by Coleraine FC and The Hummingbird Project to raise money for essential mental health services
Football fans, players, officials, local businesses, and residents on the North Coast are being asked to fly a thousand “Hues of Blues” flags as part of a first major fundraising campaign between local mental health organisation The Hummingbird Project and Coleraine Football Club.
The spectacle, carrying the hashtag #WereYouThere, will mark a memorable day in the Club’s history, as hundreds of flags bedeck the stadium for the first time. The focus will be on football but also the importance of good mental fitness among players, officials, spectators, and many more beyond the event – all standing up to smash the stigma that still surrounds mental health.
“We are seeking business and individual sponsorships or donations for each of the first 500 flags at a minimum suggested rate of £50 per flag. These first 500 flags will be allocated, for the duration of the game, to the first 500 young people who take up the Club’s “Kid for a Quid” offer on the day of the match.
“I believe the #WereYouThere event will be a truly historic day in the Club’s history, another first for the Bannsiders, as we pack the stadium with colour and noise, while marking such a poignant occasion. In the last eight years, Hummingbird has already invested £1 million in local mental health projects across Northern Ireland, delivering innovation and high impact in collaboration with over 50 partners, including several government departments.
“The investment will also leverage additional statutory funding, and will create measurable, meaningful, sustainable, emotional wellbeing impacts across the Causeway Coast and Glens area. It will also help to create local jobs and volunteering opportunities.”
