On Thursday 16 June, 35 amateur football teams from across
Scotland took part in a special, one day tournament. As part of our
Get Active programme, we're working with Street Soccer Scotland to run
the SAMH Street Soccer Cup.
The Cup is a national 5-a-side football tournament, with teams
from around the country taking part to promote exercise and
sport as a way of improving mental health.
The sun shone and all involved had an excellent day. The SAMH
Get Active Trophy was awarded to the Oxford Street Salvation Army
team, pictured above, while the SAMH Street Soccer Trophy went to
Kilmarnock Pez, pictured below, with SAMH's own Connect service,
which provides housing support, a close second.
But that's not all: the SAMH Trophy went to the West End Ward
team, shown below.
And last but not least Jamie McLean won a well deserved Best
Player award with SAMH's Cassiltoun service, which provides
supported accommodation for people with mental health
problems, taking the Fair Play award.
