Brentford FC Community Sports Trust Launch #BeeWell Campaign
Online activities will support adults and young people during the crisis
|
Following on from #mentalhealthawarenessweek, Brentford FC Community Sports Trust has launched its #BeeWell campaign, which aims to support children and adults with their physical and mental wellbeing.
With a recent survey highlighting how young people’s mental health has worsened since the Covid-19 crisis, the campaign aims to offer an array of online activities to support adults and young people during the crisis.
The campaign is being supported by EcoWorld London, the Principal Partner of Brentford FC and developer of the new stadium.
The #BeeWell campaign will include:
• An intergenerational project with the Premier League that sees children write letters of support to older Brentford fans who are self-isolating.
• More live online football sessions.
• Online Talk Club for Brentford fans and local residents
• Expansion of our welfare calls to our most vulnerable participants.
• Gradual resumption of community activities in line with government recommendations
The #BeeWell campaign follows on from the Trust’s #BeeatHome campaign, which saw a staggering 1,000 children and young people take part in our online activities during the government lockdown.
Lee Doyle, Chief Executive of Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, said, “The support of EcoWorld London and our Trust partners has enabled us to be responsive, flexible and creative during a time of increased need. We will continue to develop and refine ways to stay connected with our local communities, building towards a brighter future.”
Heng Leong Cheong, CEO of EcoWorld London, said, “Our business is committed to creating healthy communities, with mental health being a crucial part of that. This will provide much needed resources for those who need it the most in this challenging time, and we hope this will be the first of many initiatives in the UK.”

We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts.
