Here to Help.

Welcome to the FTG Shine A Light Initiative

Welcome to the FTG Shine A Light Initiative from the Forces Transition Group, a sanctuary for service leavers and blue light leavers confronting life’s toughest challenges.This initiative is led by Maurice Hepworth, a former Sunderland footballer whose promising career was cut short by injury. Maurice has faced profound personal hardships, including battling cancer and enduring family tragedy. Through sharing his own journey of resilience and hope, Maurice aims to provide a supportive space where you can share your stories, fears, and worries with someone who truly understands. Whether you’re dealing with suicide, mental health struggles, financial worries, or any other issues, we are here to help you find strength, understanding, and a sense of community.

We’re here to help.
