At an event focused on ‘Unlocking the Power of Physical Activity for Mental Health’ on 8 October 2025, English Football League (EFL) in the Community has announced a new collaboration with national mental health charity Mind. This will make EFL in the Community the first national organisation to roll out the Safe and Effective Practice support package across its network of 72 Football Club charities.
EFL in the Community was among a number of expert partners involved in the consultation process for the development of the Safe and Effective Practice report and its accompanying resources. This collaboration has enabled EFL in the Community to further raise awareness of this vital work across its network and to equip Football Club charities to become early adopters of the guidance and recommendations.
