As many as six Everton in the Community programmes may be lost due to NHS cuts.
The charity run sports events for almost 700 people with mental health conditions- many of which are children however Mersey Care NHS trust have admitted that they will be putting a stop to their funding from April.
Both Mersey Care and Everton in the Community have said that they are looking for the funding elsewhere however they have so far been unsuccessful.
The programmes at risk include their Imagine Your Goals football sessions, Girls on Side fitness sessions and Healthy Blues sports for over-40s.
Phil Duffy, executive director of Everton in the Community, said: “Naturally we are disappointed Mersey Care are no longer in a position to continue funding our six mental health programmes.
“Each programme is unique and provides an essential support system to our participants. We will continue our dialogue with Mersey Care and our clinical managers, putting the needs of our service users first.
“I’d like to reassure all the participants engaged in our mental health programmes that their sessions will be continuing as normal until the end of March 2018 and we continue to work hard to find a funding solution that keeps these much relied upon, and much needed, programmes in operation beyond April.”
