Supported by club captains, Harry Maguire and Katie Zelem, the Foundation will be distributing books, balls and resources to children across Greater Manchester, encouraging them to look after their mental health. This forms part of the Foundation’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has had a significant impact on young people’s mental health. Social isolation, a loss of routine and a breakdown in formal and informal support has led to young people feeling lonely and isolated. In an effort to inspire and encourage children to talk about their mental health, the Foundation will be distributing over 5,000 books and balls to children living in deprived areas of Greater Manchester. Created in partnership with global non-fiction publisher DK, the book has kindly been donated to the Foundation in support of local communities. Aimed at children aged 8-12 years, the 48 page book entitled United Minds: Be positive. Be curious. Be united, features Manchester United-themed activities, advice and self-care tips to inspire and engage children in looking after their overall wellbeing. DK are passionate about making books that are not only fun, but accessible to everyone and inspire a lifetime of curiosity.
