We're continuing our new feature as we gear up to our new kit launch with the second of our "Meet our sponsors" posts.
We are incredibly proud to announce that Workington St Joseph's Women's Walking Football was one of the first clubs to join and support Cumbria United in the county. 💜⚽️
For those who might not be familiar, Cumbria United (developed by the amazing local charity Every Life Matters) is a ground-breaking county-wide project designed to tackle mental health struggles and take a stand against su***de. Their aim is simple but profoundly important: to use the unique power of sport to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health, challenge the silence, and open up life-saving conversations.
Sport is about so much more than just the game. It’s about teamwork, solidarity, and having a safe space where you know someone always has your back. Cumbria United harnesses this incredible sense of community, equipping local clubs with the training and resources needed to support teammates who might be struggling. They recognise that sports clubs are strong, connected families perfectly placed to look out for one another.
At Workington St Joseph's Women's Walking Football, we believe wholeheartedly in the power of sport to change lives. We recognise just how vital mental health support is in our local area, and we share Cumbria United's vision of helping our community thrive both physically and mentally. That is exactly why we felt it was so important to get involved from the very beginning.
To show our unwavering commitment to this cause, we are incredibly honoured to display the Cumbria United badge on our brand-new kit.
Every time we step onto the pitch, we will be wearing it with pride—a visible reminder to our players, supporters, and opponents that you are never alone, and it is always okay to talk.
Together, we can make a difference. Let’s look out for each other, on and off the pitch. 🤝🦄
