Dolan Shows Support For World Mental Health Day

Tyrhys Dolan showed once again that he’s a class act – both on and off the pitch. To mark World Mental Health Day, the 19-year-old paid a special visit to Our Lady & St John Catholic College in Blackburn.

The club’s official charity, Blackburn Rovers Community Trust, work closely with the school, where they deliver the Premier League Inspire project – an education programme aimed at young people aged 11-25, with a key focus on improving mental health and emotional wellbeing. Dolan, who has netted three times for Rovers this season, spent time talking to pupils on the programme, offering advice and support, and sharing situations he has experienced in his own life.

There was also a special surprise in store for one young student, who was presented with a Rovers shirt. To collectively recognise World Mental Health Day, EFL clubs and Club Community Organisations have been organising ‘Do One Thing’ activities as an act of kindness to those deserving within their local communities, with the message that if we all do one thing to fight for mental health, we can change everything.

The EFL’s charity partner, Mind, will be taking over the EFL’s social media channels, so keep an eye out for the countless heart-warming gestures that have been taking place at clubs and in local communities up and down the country, in support of World Mental Health Day and the EFL’s #DoOneThing campaign.
