Have you spotted the new pink bench in Claremont Park?
In partnership with Speakeasy Club, it offers easy access to free, supportive well-being resources via QR code (as well as a place to pause and reflect).
Speakeasy Club is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2022 with a powerful mission: to harness the power of sport to save lives by providing vital mental health support, education, and empowerment — before individuals reach a crisis point. The initiative is the brainchild of Simon Clarke, who brings over 30 years of hands-on experience in community sport and 16 years working with National Governing Bodies. His deep-rooted knowledge of grassroots sport, combined with his personal journey through depression and anxiety, has shaped Speakeasy’s unique and empathetic approach. The aim is to empower and educate individuals to support their teammates and themselves.
