If you’ve got a spare 5 minutes today, please give our new video a watch…
@AFCCT exists to improve the health and wellbeing of the people of Aberdeen and The Shire, and Jim’s story is just one of so many throughout the history of this incredible charity❤️
Football cannot solve every problem.
But it can ensure that nobody has to face them alone.
Football brings people together.
We help make that connection beyond the final whistle.

📕 Did you see us in the Matchday programme?
The Changing Room returns to Pittodrie in two weeks - a programme designed for men's mental health.
The 12 week course takes place in a safe, informal, and non-judgemental setting that works to help men better self-manage their own mental health and support one another, as part of a team.
If you are struggling or know someone who may be going through a difficult time, the Changing Room is here to help.

💪 Exciting day at our Technogym session at Pittodrie!
We had the pleasure of being joined by two pupils form St Machar to help lead the Technogym session this morning. Technogym is a project created for 'active-agers' who can use gym equipment in a controlled environment lead by our fantastic coaches and volunteers.
It is great to work together and connect participants from across the AFCCT community ❤

🧠 It's #WorldMentalHealthDay2025 and we wanted to re-share a video from our MINDSET Officer, Murray, about how you can foster positive mental wellbeing.
Staying active, connected and getting plenty rest can help ensure that you avoid burnout. We know it can be hard at times but hopefully these tips can be a reminder to look after yourself and stay positive 👏
