REBOUND
WITH ROVERS
Rebound with Rovers is an award-winning, free mental health football programme delivered by the Bristol Rovers Community Trust. It supports adults (18+) experiencing depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges. The programme provides a safe, welcoming environment for physical activity and social connection, helping to improve mental wellbeing through football.
Rebound with Rovers sessions consist of a fun, hour-long football activity, followed by a confidential ‘check-OUT’.
During this time, participants can share any concerns or discuss their progress with a fully qualified football coach and trained mental health first aider.
