Our Club Captain for 2026, Mr Paul Taylor has chosen to support 'Rethink Mental Illness' as his chosen charity for the year
Rethink Mental Illness was formed over 50 years ago by a group of inspiring people who were caring for a loved one living with schizophrenia.
The experiences and knowledge of carers and people living with mental illness have been vital in helping the organisation improve the lives of thousands of people every year. Together they've developed and established expert information and advice, services and support groups for people severely affected by mental illness. They have provided training and launched local and national campaigns that have changed and continue to change society's attitudes and behaviours towards people living with sever mental illness.
As a leading charity provider of mental health services in England they are on a mission to bring about meaningful change to the health and social care system, to the way society views mental illness and to peoples lives across the country - people with mental illness are at the heart of everything they do.
This insight shapes the advice, information and around 200 groups / services from housing to employment, carer support to legal advice. The passion and courage drives the campaigns to change the law and tackle discrimination and the rich diversity of their experience helps us the charity make sure that the services are accessible to everyone whatever their background or identity.
We know people severely affected with mental illness can have a good quality of life and with support this will be possible
The Captain will be running competitions and events where proceeds will be raised to go towards this charity and you can give at the collection tins in the clubhouse (particularly for fines!!)
Thank you advance for your support
Paul Taylor
Club Captain
