Well what a fantastic day playing in a charity football match - Trade legends vs celebrities at Merthyr Town Fc. Terrific turn out and for such a good cause, raising awareness for construction workers who suffer with mental health and also in memory of Marcus Rees who we lost because of this topic. By running events like this we can start to see much needed change within the industry as the rates at which we are losing men are far too much. We need some reform and events like this help pave the way for a healthier future.
We all suffer from mental health to some degree as it’s the human condition and having studied this at degree level I can tell you that it’s not a simple fix. The opinions and solutions within counselling differ vastly and are widely contested but there is help and there’s always hope. One of the main issues in construction is the bravado image, where men play along when they are suffering badly and need help. Let’s hope with events like this we can see more support for those that are suffering, so it is there, readily available and easy accessible for all construction workers.
Knowing you are struggling is not a weakness, knowing you need help is not something to be afraid of. It is a sign of strength within, a sign that you want to take control of your life and make it better for yourself and for those around you in every way. The world needs you, construction needs you. I don’t care who you are, everyone struggles, life is very difficult but just knowing that can help save lives and encourage those suffering to seek help.
I want to personally thanks Daniel Richards from @welsh_erection_boys and Harrison @benchin_bricky and all the organisers that put this event together. This is just the start of a new movement to help all construction workers and what a start it was.
Thanks to all those that came out to watch, the trade lads, it was great to meet you all, my family and all the celebrities. You all made it a day to remember forever and I will see you on the next match.
