Lindsey Dyer and Catherine Mills evaluate an innovative programme launched on Merseyside that encourages people with mental health problems to play football

The Imagine Your Goals football programme run by Mersey Care NHS Trust has inspired the Football Association, Sports Relief and Time to Change to offer Premier League clubs funds to start mental health programmes. This article summarises a service-user evaluation of the programme and suggests that similar schemes should be more widely available.
