Hosting a Club Connect event is a powerful way for your club to bring people together, strengthen local connections, and support community wellbeing. These events offer a relaxed, informative, and engaging evening focused on mental health awareness, resilience, and practical tools for looking out for one another. With minimal effort required from the host club beyond providing the venue and a couple of staff on the night, Club Connect events are designed to be easy to run and deeply impactful.

By hosting an event, your club plays a key role in helping break down stigma, sparking important conversations, and ensuring your community members know how to access help and support, all while reinforcing your club’s position as a trusted community hub.
