Sheppey United Football Club, established in 1890, has deep roots in Kent football, achieving early success in local leagues. Despite financial challenges and a brief hiatus in the early 2000s, the club rebounded and returned to Holm Park, where recent investments have enhanced their facilities. Now competing in the Isthmian League, Sheppey United embodies community spirit with programmes for youth, women’s, and veteran teams.
The charity match for MenTalk saw Sheppy United take to the field in support of mental health awareness, helping to raise funds for this important cause. The event was a resounding success, not only highlighting the club’s footballing talent but also their commitment to creating a positive impact beyond the sport. The match brought together players, fans, and local supporters, all rallying behind the vital cause of mental health support.
As part of their collaboration with 3T Sports Co, Sheppy United wore custom kits designed especially for the charity match. Proceeds from the event went directly to MenTalk, helping to fund programmes aimed at providing mental health resources and support in the community.
