Football, and sport in general, can be such a powerful way to bring people together. 

Towards the end of last year, the Destiny Project organised a hugely successful legends football match to raise awareness about mental health for young people and to raise funds for the work of the organisation. Young people involved with the East Lothian based charity lined up alongside heroes from both sides to produce what some say was the best Edinburgh derby of all time! The match had everything, and the event itself had even more as the supporters, volunteers and participants created a day to remember. Plans are in place for another later this year.
