On this episode of the BHA podcast, we’re joined by lifelong Seagulls fan Dean Gallagher, whose love for Brighton has taken him from the terraces during the club’s tougher years to the excitement of the Premier League.

Dean’s connection to the club goes beyond watching matches. He’s now playing a key role in an important initiative using football to tackle suicide prevention.

Brighton & Hove Albion has been selected as a flagship club for the Premier League’s suicide prevention program and Dean is helping bring Samaritans volunteers to every home game, raising awareness and making sure support is always available to fans.

In our conversation with Dean, we explore how this project merges his lifelong love for the Albion with his dedication to mental health support, proving the power football has to make an impact beyond the game.

If you or someone you know is affected by the topics discussed in this podcast and needs someone to talk , there is support is available.
