Bury Football Club has been a central point for the local community for 140 years. After fighting through our own battles as a club, we have now been able to further invest in the wellness of our players, staff, supporters and the wider community. From our ever-growing fan-base to our popular recreational and youth teams, Bury FC is about the people and for the people and we now have a dedicated team of Mental Health First Aiders who are here to help signpost you to the support you may need.




Since 2024, we have been working with The Football Mental Health Alliance and we have formed a small committee made up of our players from our women’s and men’s recreational teams and fans. Leading this initiative is Tania Jackson, our club’s Safeguarding and Welfare Officer, she is joined by Mark Lomas, Jess Reed, Ben Travis, Samantha Radcliffe and Aaron Wilkinson. Together, they form the core of our Mental Health First Aiders, dedicated to offering assistance and support.

This investment reflects our commitment to fostering an environment where mental health concerns are met with empathy and prompt support, aiming to combat stigma and raise awareness of available resources. It exemplifies Bury Football Club’s commitment to ensuring everyone in our community has access to a supportive network.

By investing in this training, we prioritise individual well-being and align with broader initiatives promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. We believe in nurturing an environment where open conversations about mental health are encouraged and practical support is readily accessible. They are not therapists or psychiatrists, but they have undergone training so they can give you initial support and most importantly signpost you to the appropriate support services if required.

We encourage anyone in need to reach out to a member of our Mental Health First Aider team without hesitation. For assistance or enquiries about available platforms, please email mhfa@buryfc.co.uk to connect with one of our designated Mental Health First Aiders, who will guide you appropriately.

Together, let’s continue to cultivate a community where mental health is not only acknowledged but also given the utmost priority, support and understanding.

The campaign begins during our much-loved Annual Fun Day on Saturday, 21st June, with two exciting charity matches:


Bury FC Supporters Team vs Holly’s Hearts

Pre-Season Fixtures Dedicated to Mind – 12th & 13th July
As part of our pre-season window, we’ll be turning the spotlight on mental health again over the weekend of Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July:


Saturday: Bury FC Men vs Chester FC
Sunday: Bury FC Women vs Chester FC Women (FSA Community-Owned Women’s Cup)


At both matches, representatives from Mind will be present and bucket collecting throughout the day. We encourage all fans to give generously and support the vital work this charity does.
Elle Cody, Fundraising & Marketing Manager at Rochdale Mind, said:
In Association with the FSA #YouAreEnough Campaign
These events are part of the newly founded #YouAreEnough initiative – a collaborative project between the Football Supporters’ Association (FSA) and Mind, inspired by the fantastic work being done at Dunstable Town FC, another proud fan-owned club. The campaign focuses on promoting positive mental health, creating open conversations and building support networks within football communities.

We are delighted to confirm the signing of Kai Evans from Nantwich Town for an undisclosed fee.

The 21-year-old attacker joins the Shakers on the back of a standout 2024/25 campaign, in which he scored 17 goals in the Northern Premier League West Division.

Evans started out at Stoke City before joining his hometown club Wrexham in 2021. He made just two first-team appearances for the Red Dragons before being released two years later.

In 2023, Evans signed for Nantwich, where he soon established himself as one of the most promising talents in non-league football.

In his first season in Cheshire, he scored 18 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions and won the club’s Young Player of the Season award.



A skilful forward with an eye for the spectacular, Evans netted a further 17 goals and provided six assists in 39 appearances last term, helping Nantwich to an eighth-placed finish. In addition to being the Dabbers’ top scorer, Evans won the club’s Player of the Season and Goal of the Season awards.
Evans was also recently named the NPL West Division’s Young Player of the Season, the NPL’s Rising Star, and runner-up in the NPL Supporters’ Player of the Season award. His stellar performances also earned him a place in the NPL West Division Team of the Season.

Upon signing, Evans said: 
Dave McNabb added: 
Evans becomes our sixth summer recruit, joining Scott Duxbury, Callum Spooner, Owen Robinson, Kieran Glynn and Kieran Lloyd in moving to Gigg Lane.

The signing is subject to NPL & FA approval.
