Change Centre - 24hr Fundraising Football Match

# data[].attributes.body
From Street Soccer's Change Centre, Dundee:

We’re currently planning a 24-Hour Football Match on August 29th 2026, partnership with Apex Hotel. Bringing our community together for something bigger than the game itself. Our aim is to raise awareness around mental health, social isolation and highlight the support available through the Change Centre Dundee services and their wider network in terms of support.

Too often, people struggle in silence and feel disconnected from society. Therefore, through this event, we want to challenge that, open up conversations, and highlight the vital support available through the Change Centre Dundee.

Alongside raising awareness, this event will also create meaningful fundraising opportunities. All funds raised will be going towards supporting individuals across our city who are facing mental health challenges.

This is more than just a match; it’s a chance to make a real difference. We’d love for you to get involved and help us turn this idea into something truly impactful.

If you would like to know more or donate, please check out our website https://uk.emma-live.com/CCD24Hrs, we would love to see you take part.
