A CHAT WITH: Jacob Kelly (Recovery Through Sport)

Duke is joined by Jacob Kelly who heads up the Recovery
Through Sport programme which provide football sessions for
those with mental health conditions and has been supported by
Gas-men past and present.

The project won the Project of the Year Award at the
Gloucestershire Football Association and McDonald's Grassroots
Football Awards 2020 and has been going from strength to
strength.

Jacob shares why football is so powerful in helping people with
mental health conditions and shares how former Rovers stars,
Stuart Sinclair, Chris Lines and James Clarke have
gone above and beyond in their ambassador roles. The likes of
Darrell Clarke and Ellis Harrison have given up
their time to help as well.
