Manchester United Foundation will be distributing 5,000 books and balls to children living in deprived areas of Greater Manchester in support of Mental Health Awareness Week, which runs from May 10-16. The week-long promotion, supported by club captains Harry Maguire and Katie Zelem, is part of an effort to encourage children to talk about their mental health. "They have been without regular exercise, social contact and routine, which is bound to have an impact on their mental health. "As a parent, I know how important it is to encourage children to look after their mental health as well as their physical health. Zelem added: "It's fantastic to see Manchester United Foundation supporting the mental health of thousands of young people across Greater Manchester.
