'How football supported me through baby loss'

Available for over a year

Meet the Worcester man who set up a team for fellow men who have been affected by the loss of a baby. One year on, and the sense of community is incredible to behold. Ross Joyner set up Sands United Worcester, with his team meeting and training once per week, and if they want to, talking to each other about shared experiences. Hear how Ross found solace with other men, and through football, an outlet to improve his mental health, after experiencing the worst (a miscarriage, still birth or shortly after). The group play at RGS The Grange pitches most Thursdays in Worcester.
