Local MP Alexander Stafford has teamed up with Swallownest FC to help raise funding for both the club and mental health charity MIND.
Alexander took part in a socially distanced 5km walk to help raise £1500 for the club and for MIND. Alexander is passionate about mental health support and it is something that is close to his heart, and he is encouraging anyone who can do so to donate to the fundraiser.
Swallownest FC have teamed up with MIND and have committed to supporting this good cause on an annual basis.

Commenting, Alexander Stafford MP said:
It was a pleasure to be able to help raise funding for this cause. Mental health is very close to my heart and I was delighted to help out one of our local football teams. Swallownest FC have committed to supporting MIND annually and I would gladly help raise funding in the future.
Now more than ever in these difficult times I urge anyone who is struggling to reach out and access help, through charities like MIND or our NHS.
