Supporting grassroots sport
1000 | Coins donated
When people think of sport, we often think of high level professional sports, which comes with its own pressures, but often with lots of support options for people's mental health.
However, when it comes to grassroots sports, those support services aren’t always accessible. With the unique pressures that go with sport, it’s not surprising that instances of anxiety and depression are up to twice as likely to occur in grassroots and lower levels of sport.

Who we work with
We have been partners with the PGA (Professional Golfers Association) for the last 4 years, helping groundskeepers, club employees and coaching members with mental health training and counselling and therapy.
Their passion and dedication to helping their membership and the wider golfing community is clear, and shared by our commitment to those in grassroots sports.
300+ hours of support
Through it's partnership with the Professional Golfers Association, we have been able to support over 70 golfing professionals, from grounds keepers to club shop employees, with their mental health through counselling and therapy services. This equates to over 300 hours of therapy.

In December 2025, we teamed up with Nottingham Forest Community Trust to deliver the first Christmas Club event in Nottingham. This was aimed at young adults in the local community, and saw over 60 people attend the event at the City Ground, to raise awareness of isolation and loneliness at this time of year for young people, and the benefits of sport on mental health. This included a roundtable with members of the Nottingham Forest Youth Team discussing the challenges of mental health in sport.

The support from Carecoins saved my life - literally. I don't think I'd be here without the help I received.

The trainer was great, and having someone who is a therapist delivering it made it feel more valid somehow. I definitely feel like I learned a lot.

I'd been on the waiting list for weeks with my GP, but when I got referred through to Carecoins they found me a therapist within a day, and I had my first session less than 72 hours after speaking to someone. I'd been holding so much in and it really helped to just have an expert to let it all out to.

Sports helpline coming soon
Coming in 2027, we will be launching a therapist manned 24/7 helpline for sports people.
Sport doesn’t stop, and having access to professional mental health support at any time is a vital contribution we’re committed to making to the sporting community.

Golf Tournament
In September 2026 we'll be hosting a golf tournament to fund the important mental health support for care workers.
This event will bring together supporters, partners and members of the community for a day of sport with purpose, helping to generate essential funding for counselling, therapy services and preventative mental health training across the care sector.
Sport specific events
After the incredible success of our 2025 Christmas Club to help raise awareness of student isolation and loneliness, we will once again be creating student specific events across the UK.
