Event details

Jumpers for Goalposts is a free, Sunday-afternoon men's support group where men who love football meet to watch Premier League matches together in relaxed company. No pressure, no agenda, and no expectation to talk; the space is simply for being present with other men while enjoying the game.

What happens and who it's for
Sessions run on Sunday afternoons to coincide with Premier League kick-offs. Attendees are welcome to come for as long as they like. The atmosphere is low-key and intentionally unstructured so people can rest, watch, or chat only if they want to. The group is open to any man seeking gentle companionship through a shared love of football.

Why this matters
Men in the UK experience high levels of mental health need and face barriers to seeking help. Around one in four adults will experience a mental health problem in a year, and men are less likely to access support and more likely to be socially isolatedPriory+1. Jumpers for Goalposts offers a familiar, non-clinical way to reduce isolation by creating regular, neighbourly contact around a shared interest.
