The Section 106 and HS2 are two important initiatives that have the ability to make a significant impact on the well-being of communities across the UK. As a mental health non-profit, we believe that these initiatives have the potential to play a crucial role in supporting Soccology’s mental health and well-being projects.

Section 106 is a planning obligation that is used to mitigate the impact of new development on communities. It requires developers to make contributions to the local community in order to offset any negative impacts that their projects may have. This can include funding for community amenities, such as parks, public spaces, and community centers, as well as for initiatives that support mental health and well-being.

HS2 is the UK's high-speed rail network, which will connect major cities and communities across the country. This ambitious project will bring significant benefits to the communities that it serves, including improved transport links, reduced journey times, and new job and business opportunities. For communities affected by the HS2, Section 106 offers an opportunity to mitigate any negative impacts that the project may have and to support the local community in a positive way. This can include funding for mental health initiatives, such as counseling services, support groups, and peer-to-peer networks.

In our experience, mental health initiatives have a profound and lasting impact on the communities that they serve. They provide people with access to the resources and support that they need to maintain their mental well-being, and they help to build strong, resilient communities. Funding via donations like Section 106, has the power to transform communities.

In conclusion, the Section 106 and HS2 initiatives have the potential to play a vital role in supporting mental health and well-being in communities across the UK. As a mental health non-profit, we believe that it is essential that we work together with developers, communities, and other stakeholders to ensure that these initiatives are used to maximum effect, and that they deliver real benefits for people and communities.

In addition to the Section 106 offering, we also offer companies the opportunity to get involved in our projects. From playing with and speaking to services users, alongside our volunteers, whether it be our young leaders or the former professional footballers.
