Self Directed Support has been promoted in a ground breaking way in East Dunbartonshire. At Ceartas we have teamed up with Heartfelt, as part of the Shine Partnership, and Clyde FC Community Foundation to deliver “Get Onside” a football course with a twist!

Get Onside is a 9 week course that combines learning about Self Directed Support and discussing what makes a good life for individuals who have used mental health services.

Each afternoon is very much a game of two halves, the first half being the indoors based ‘Tactics Board’, while the second half is outdoors for some coaching and a game of 5 a-sides with Clyde Manager and former Scotland captain Barry Ferguson and Clyde’s Assistant manager Bob Malcolm.

The programme has been varied with sessions on leadership, dealing with stigma, working as a team and accessing independent advocacy being just some of the topics discussed. The group has also received detailed information on how self-directed support can be a positive change in the lives of people receiving services.

Following the success of Get Onside, developed by Ceartas and Heartfelt, the pilot has been extended from 6 weeks to 9 weeks. Additionally there has been interest expressed by a further two senior football teams, therefore it is hoped the course will become a permanent fixture in raising awareness about Self Directed Support in East Dunbartonshire and beyond.

Get Onside runs each Wednesday until 17th December.
