Time to Talk Day is tomorrow (Thursday 4th February). Time to Talk Day is the day that we get the nation talking about mental health. This year’s event might look a little different, but at times like this open conversations about mental health are more important than ever.

Whilst there is no football on at the moment everyone at Loughborough Foxes is doing their best to stay active. It is recommended that you get at least 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.
