A mental health project run by Stenhousemuir Football Club and commended by FIFA and the Scottish Football Association has been given a cash boost of £1,500.
The "world leading" programme - working in partnership with national mental health charity Andy’s Man Club - will see weekly drop in sessions specifically for men in the area who require help and support.
It's part of Falkirk Council's Community Choices funding, which will help train specialist tutors and support the needs of those who attend the weekly classes.
The mental health project works with occupational therapists to provide support, physical exercise and a social environment for people in the Forth Valley experiencing mental ill health.
Stenhousemuir FC's Community Engagement & Inclusion Officer Fiona Kennedy said: "Community Choices has helped us fund an important mental health initiative in the local area.
"The needs of our community are at the forefront of what we do, and we greatly appreciate the chance to access the public funds and for the community to vote for us.
"I’d encourage local groups to put forward their ideas and apply to the Community Choices Small Grants programme."
