TEAM TALK
Team Talk is Derby County Community Trust’s men’s peer support programme designed to provide a ‘safe space’ to talk and social with others.
Team Talk offers a range of opportunities to social and mix with new people. This includes monthly activities such as workshops, walking groups and Q+A events with a new special guest each month.
Our hubs are open to any males aged 18+ to attend.
Key groups we work with include those recovering from substance misuse, students and those with high-pressure jobs, but we invite all males from any background to get in touch if we could support them.
We can also signpost participants to further medical support or intervention where necessary.
Team Talk is supported by the Premier League Fans Fund. The Premier League Fans Fund provides grants to support football clubs at all levels of
the game to strengthen connections between them, their fans and local communities.
The fund supports a range of fan-focused and fan-led projects, helping to foster a sense of belonging through meaningful engagement. This includes schemes
for under-represented groups, to further develop an inclusive and welcoming matchday experience for everyone.
The fund is open to professional football club charities in the Premier League, EFL and Women’s Super League 1 and 2.
The fund currently supports 137 fan-led projects addressing a range of themes such as community cohesion; education, employability and training; equality,
diversity and inclusion; mental health and well-being; and environmental sustainability. Over 18,000 participants engaged in nearly 9,000 sessions in the
2023-2025 iteration of the fund.
The Premier League has committed £5million to the Premier League Fans Fund from 2026-2028. This will be administered through the Premier League
Foundation.
