The Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) has set up a Fantasy Football league for the upcoming 2023/24 season and is encouraging participation from people operating in the mortgage sector.
MIMHC was launched in October 2021 and is a not-for-profit collaboration between seven co-founders: Brightstar, Chartwell FS, Coreco, Crystal Specialist Finance, Knowledge Bank, Landbay and Simply Biz.
In line with the Charter’s goal of shining a light on mental health within the mortgage sector, its new Fantasy Football league hopes to encourage more industry professionals to prioritise some much-needed downtime.
Jason Berry (pictured), co-founder of the MIMHC, said: “Having fun distractions away from the daily grind our mortgage sector brings are a necessity.
“Our recent industry wide survey indicated brokers continue to work longer hours and are not getting enough sleep, and the recent actions faced with almost instant product withdrawals have only exacerbated the challenges brokers face.”
In addition, The Intermediary will also be lending its support to the league, offering a donation of £500 to the winner’s mental health charity of choice.
Ryan Fowler, publisher of The Intermediary, said: “We are delighted to support the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter’s Fantasy Football league for the 2023/24 season, by offering a £500 donation to the mental health charity of the winner’s choice.
“At present the challenges faced by the industry are many, and initiatives like this are vital for fostering community and supporting mental well-being.
“The competition is not only a way to enjoy some friendly banter but also aligns with a cause we genuinely believe in. Good luck to all those taking part.”
Berry concluded: “Irrespective of whether you are a football fan or not, taking part in this fantasy football guarantees 10 months of friendly banter and the winner will have valuable bragging rights for our industry.
“The more participants we have the better the fun will be and it’s so easy to take part using below link.”
