Nottingham Forest Community Trust is proud to announce Nottingham Forest Women’s player, Hollie Olding, as our Mental Health Ambassador.

Hollie, who joined Nottingham Forest Women in the summer, has quickly become a key figure both on and off the pitch. Since her arrival at The City Ground, she has been a passionate advocate for mental health awareness, actively taking part in a number of the Trust’s mental health programmes, including our initiative Tricky to Talk.

She has also played a key role in delivering school sessions, connecting with young people across the community and encouraging open conversations about mental wellbeing.

Hollie’s involvement in these projects has made a lasting impact on both children and adults, using her platform as a professional footballer to inspire and empower others to prioritise their mental health.

Hollie joins Nottingham Forest Men’s first-team player, Harry Toffolo, who was appointed as the Trust’s Mental Health Ambassador in 2024. Together, they will champion the importance of mental health, promote open conversations, and support community-wide initiatives aimed at breaking down stigma.

Speaking about her mental health ambassadorial role, Hollie said:

“I am really proud to be the mental health ambassador on behalf of the Nottingham Forest Women’s team.”

“I’d like to drive the conversation forward more about mental health and to be as impactful as I can in this role.’”

Calum Osborne, Chief Executive Officer of Nottingham Forest Community Trust, added:

“We’re incredibly proud to have Hollie as our Mental Health Ambassador. She brings passion, authenticity, and a real connection with the community – especially young people. Her involvement has already had a huge positive impact, and this ambassador role is a natural extension of the fantastic work she’s been doing with us.

“Mental health continues to be a key priority for the Trust, and having someone like Hollie leading the way helps break down barriers and drive real change.”
