Chelsea Foundation to distribute exercise packs for Mental Health Awareness Week
To support Mental Awareness Week, Chelsea Foundation is distributing exercise packs and education workbooks to several schools.
To show support to Mental Awareness Week, which runs from the 18th to the 24th of May, Chelsea Foundation will be distributing 500 exercise packs, which contains items such as footballs, cones and skipping ropes to help schoolchildren stay active.
The activity packs include also a specially designed “Extra Time” workbook, which will also form part of the giveaway, helping participants keep a healthy mind, and healthy body, during the current coronavirus pandemic.
The initiative was partially funded by Chelsea FC captain Cesar Azpilicueta, who said: “As a footballer I know how important mental wellbeing is. At Chelsea we believe that a healthy body and a healthy mind are important to overcome any challenge, both on and off the pitch.”
“We have created this workbook and our exercise packs to highlight the importance of mental and physical health and hope that you enjoy the challenges and activities we have created.”
“I am very proud to be the captain of Chelsea and in this role it is important for me to stay physically strong and train everyday so that I can be the best that I can be. Equally, it is important for me to be mentally strong. I need to be determined and resilient for my team and for myself.”
“I hope that you enjoy all of the challenges in this workbook and enjoy learning about the importance of exercise and positive mental health!”
The @CFCFoundation with support from @CesarAzpi, will this week begin providing exercise packs and education workbooks to schools in support of #MentalHealthAwareness week… https://t.co/baDyMWkpdJ
