A Corby rugby club is holding its first event this weekend to launch their new pairing with mental health charity Looseheadz.

S&L RFC at Occupation Road is hosting its first Looseheadz coffee morning on Saturday (November 14).

Looseheadz is rugby's mental health charity. Their aim is to use the power of rugby to start conversations, tackle the stigma and save lives.

This season S&L became a Looseheadz affiliated club. Tony Berry is the club's 'Loosehead' - mental health champion. He heads up the S&L Looseheadz team, supported by Ryan Hammett and Ellie Kyle.

The group aim to around for anyone who needs support, via text, call or a face to face conversation. They are determined to help end the stigma and open up the community.

A spokesman said: “We hope that this coffee morning will be the first of many. The aim is to support our clubs community whether they are players, referees, coaches, supporters or volunteers, so that everyone knows it's ok not to be ok.”

Everyone is welcome this Saturday from 11am until 12.30pm, for a coffee, cake and a chat. Donations are welcome and will go towards the next coffee morning and Looseheadz.
