⚽ In memory of Jamie Devlin 💚

Following Jamie’s death by su***de in 2022, his best friends Callum Craig and Sean Loughran created The Devlin Cup—a football event bringing friends together to remember Jamie while raising vital funds for mental health charities.

What began as a tournament has grown into GOAT FC—Get Out And Talk—encouraging more open conversations about grief, loss and mental health, particularly among men.

This year’s Devlin Cup took place at Seaview Stadium on 15 August, raising more than £3,000 for PIPS Su***de Prevention and Lighthouse. Since the event began, over £10,000 has been raised.

A powerful tribute to Jamie and an important reminder that no one should struggle alone. Please keep talking, checking in and looking out for one another. 💚
