News / Charity sponsors soccer
POPULAR Shetland mental health charity Mind Your Head has given its backing to the local 2012 football season, pointing out that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
On Tuesday Shetland Football Association announced the charity was its new sponsor for the reserve league, while local businesses G&S Flooring and Brudolff Hotels maintain their sponsorship of the premier league and the association respectively.
SFA chairman Brian Duncan thanked the two companies for their continued support over the past few years.
He added: “We are absolutely delighted to have such a fabulous local charity sponsor the reserve league. We are excited to have the opportunity to work with Mind Your Head and to support the charity in any way we can.
“The committee’s training for the Round Spiggie Race will begin immediately!”
The charity’s coordinator Jenny Teale said it was a very appropriate activity to get involved in.
“Mind Your Head are delighted to be working with the Shetland Football Association sponsoring the Reserve League this year.
“With one in four people likely to experience a mental health problem every year it is critical that we raise awareness and promote good mental wellbeing.
“A healthy mind goes hand in hand with a healthy body so what better way to promote positive mental health than to be involved with Shetland Football Association.”
