Improving mental health support services in Oxfordshire
Named in honour of former Oxford United player Joey Beauchamp, the Foundation is committed to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals through dedicated outreach and initiatives.
The Joey Beauchamp Foundation aims to address the pressing need for mental health support and awareness within our community. With a steadfast focus on collaboration and community engagement, the Foundation seeks to empower individuals to overcome challenges and thrive in their daily lives.
Let's Talk About Mental Health
In partnership with other organisations, our aim is for the residents of Oxfordshire who are affected by mental health issues receive the support they need.
We believe that everyone deserves to be free from mental health stigma and we want to develop the view that mental health is every bit as important as physical health.
The foundation is dedicated to working in partnership with Oxford United in the Community (OUITC), the charitable arm of Oxford United Football Club.
Joey's Story
What Joey Beauchamp wanted to be, more than anything else, was an Oxford United player. He made 428 appearances, scoring 80 goals and was clearly far too good for the Yellows. But it was his team, his city and his home. He loved it there.
Joey also suffered from depression, alcohol addiction and financial problems. At aged 50, he took his own life.
He didn’t appreciate the love people had for him. How many people saw him as a hero and above all, he didn’t know that there was a network of support for the hundreds of people just like him suffering with mental health every day
