On Tuesday night, we had the pleasure of inviting Redcar CF from the Langbaurgh League down to collect their No Substitute branded apparel. 

The Sunday League team took time out to pose in their new tops, that continue to spread the positive message that there is No Substitute for good mental health. 

The lads also produced a series of video soundbites around the importance of an active lifestyle and wellbeing, which will be shared and celebrated on World Mental Health Day, Sunday 10 October.

North Riding FA Football Development Manager, Andy Clay, said: “We are absolutely delighted with how the No Substitute campaign has developed. 

“From the very outset we were confident about how football can use its collective power to tackle mental health and the stigma that surrounds it. Equally important to this campaign was to emphasise the benefits of an active lifestyle and the positive impact this can have on people. 

“The North Riding FA will continue to work collaboratively with Redcar and Cleveland Council in this field, showcasing the outstanding examples within grassroots football.” 

A special thank you from North Riding FA goes to our partner Emmerson Marketing, Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council & The Langbaurgh League.
