Every minute, somewhere in the world, a man dies by suicide.
That’s 90 sons, husbands, brothers and fathers for every 90 minute game of the Football World Cup. By the full-time whistle of the final and 64th match, over 5,760 males will have died by suicide.
Cardiff City FC Community Foundation have partnered with Cardiff and Vale University Health Board and The Lions Barber Collective to address the stigma surrounding mental health and tackle the suicide issues amongst young men.
We welcomed both The Lions Barber Collective and Papyrus to Cardiff City House of Sport to offer free haircuts to our post-16 education students and tutors, encouraging them to open up through conversation in a relaxed environment.
The offer was then opened up to City supporters on Level 4 at Cardiff City Stadium pre and post-match as the Bluebirds hosted West Bromwich Albion.
Speaking at the event, Head of Community Development, Zac Lyndon-Jones said:
