The Change Grow Live football tournament final took place on 27 September at Power League in Manchester.
Prior to the arrival of the finals, St Luke's had won every game, as well as the South regional final.
Teams from all over the UK were eager and ready, including those of us representing the Barking and Dagenham Change Grow Live service! Our team consisted of Lived Experience Volunteers, people who use our service, and staff.
The teams were split into two groups to complete to see who could make it through to the finals.
We were in a close match with Birmingham to claim the main cup winner title, where it was a close match initially.
However, despite a valiant effort, with a 2-0 lead, we were beaten in the final by Birmingham with a score of 3-2. Everyone had a great time, and the Runners Up trophy now takes pride of place at St Luke's.
