We have partnered up with London Boxing and Shout to relaunch our Sam’s Listening campaign with a confidential 24/7 text support service.

Sam’s Listening was launched on Tuesday 21st September 2021 at West Ham Boxing Club.  Named ‘Sam’s Listening’ in memory of former London boxer, amateur and professional coach, Sam Bezzina who tragically died last year at the age of 26, the service is free for anyone to access.  A unique provision for sport and clubs, ‘Sam’s Listening’ will support those requiring specialist assistance and provide a sympathetic ear to help them through challenging phases of their life.

Our
support service


Shout is the UK’s first and only free, confidential, 24/7 text messaging support service for anyone who is struggling to cope. Shout was launched in May 2019 and has had more than 1.7 million conversation with people who are anxious, stressed, depressed, suicidal or overwhelmed and who need in-the-moment support.

England and Wales alone saw over 1,600 suicides between April and July last year[1]  with three-quarters of these deaths amongst males.  Although this was a 18% decrease on the same period in 2019, there is concern about the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on mental health.  The ONS announced in May 2021 that rates of depression across the UK had doubled at the start of the pandemic.[2]

The free helpline is sponsored through Powerday’s charitable arm, the Powerday Foundation, as part of Powerday’s work to improve health and wellbeing amongst disadvantaged young Londoners.  Earlier this year, the Powerday Foundation set out its plan to 2025 aiming to tackle the alarming decline in young people’s health and mental well-being and safety through local employment, sport and education.
