****2025 Update: The annual football match was organised in Cowbridge on 24th May 2025 by Geth’s friends and family to remember Geth, and to raise more funds for Geth’s Fund. The reds beat the blues on penalties after a thrilling 4-4 draw. The man of the match was Martyn Dowding who was presented with the Geth WWF “The Rock” Belt. Please continue to support Mind in the Vale as our local charity helping people with mental health. ****
Our much loved son, brother, nephew, great nephew, cousin, and friend Geth lost his battle with mental health issues on 8th May 2020 at the age of 31, leaving us all heartbroken and devastated.
After a very difficult 15 months during the Covid pandemic, we have found the strength to organise an event in Cowbridge on 14th August 2021 to celebrate his life with family and friends, play a game of football (his favourite sport), and launch Geth’s Fund, to help Mind in the Vale’s It Takes Balls to Talk campaign, to provide better suicide prevention support to men under 50 struggling with mental health issues. The fund has been launched with a donation from Geth’s estate. Please give generously if you can. Many thanks for your support.
Geth’s family and friends
