Mental Health

We run a number of mental health projects to support the wellbeing of anybody who may need our help. Our projects range from drop-in sessions for those feeling worries or anxious through to providing sessions for those with diagnosed mental health problems.

Derby County Community Trust’s Health projects are wide-ranging and all aim to tackle a particular health inequality. Different projects focus on various physical and mental health issues and work with individuals from 0 to 100!

Our long-running Disability projects support individuals with physical disabilities and/or additional needs through pan-disability or impairment specific football sessions.
