Kick-off at the Annual Fun Day – Saturday 21st June
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
Bury FC Men’s Recreational & Vets vs MAN v FAT FC (Bury)
All proceeds from these matches will go directly to support the work of Mind at a local level, helping them provide essential services and support to those in our community who need it most.
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.

The campaign focuses on promoting positive mental health, creating open conversations and building support networks within football communities.
