Wear It Green Weekend We want to celebrate an amazing weekend where Norfolk cricket (and beyond) came together to raise awareness for men's mental health We cannot thank each and every club enough who turned their socials green, welcomed us at their grounds and supported us. To every player, supporter, umpire who wore green - you are all heroes to us. To the @NorfolkCricket and @Lewey_Denmark in particular - without your support this would not have the impact it had. Huge thank you to @HorsfordCC for hosting our game on the Sunday and to everyone who played, umpired, turned up to watch or behind the scenes that made it happen The weekend was all about raising awareness and support for men's mental health - Norfolk Cricket you were brilliant and the Foundation is amazed by what you did. The numbers around make suicide are heartbreaking and your efforts will make a difference to someone, that one conversation will be the one that changes a life. #ItsTimeToTalk

🎣 Men's Time Fishing — Father's Day Special This June we're doing something a little different. For our Father's Day session we're inviting Sons to bring their Dads or Grandads, and Dads to bring their Sons — a morning built around family connection, blue space and the kind of conversation that flows easier with a fishing rod in your hand. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time picking up a rod, you'll be made welcome. If you're new to fishing, don't worry about kit — we'll have everything you need. These mornings are all about getting out of the house, enjoying the water and spending time together in a relaxed environment. What better way to mark Father's Day than side by side at the bankside? 🗓 Date: Saturday 20th June 📍 Location: Dents Fishery 🕗 Time: 8am – 1pm 🎣 Open to all abilities 💷 Free to attend Fishing is part of our Pathway — helping men make new connections, try new activities and promote wellbeing. Our Facilitators will be there for you. 👇 Book your place using the link below 856foundation.org.uk/mens-ti… #FathersDay #MensTimeFishing #BlueSpace #Connection #Wellbeing #FatherAndSon #Wellbeing

The cost of these beautiful kits are  Adult £60  Youth £44 And if you purchase one you will be directly supporting the Foundation and impacting men's mental health in a positive way Every adult shirt includes a £5 donation to the 8:56 Foundation; supporting our Wellbeing Pathway and community programmes. For every 7 shirts sold this funds a Talking Therapy Counselling session for someone who needs it A shirt with heritage. A message with impact. A season with purpose. Pre‑order now at kltown.co.uk/shop. #ItsTimeToTalk

8:56 x @officialkltownfc x WWSA This means so much to us all at the 8:56 Foundation. The Walks and The Linnets were everything to Lee.  They’re the reason behind the name 8:56 — a place he loved, a place full of memories, a place that meant so much to him - The Captain  To now see the Foundation carried on the front of the home shirt… it’s hard to put into words. It’s pride and emotion in equal measures. A huge thank you to Tony and Karen Stevens at WWSA, who have donated the entire front‑of‑shirt to the 8:56 Foundation to help elevate men’s mental health across our community Karen said: “We are delighted to become the main home shirt sponsor this year and to donate that sponsorship to the 8:56 Foundation… supporting people and making a positive difference in our community.” Tony added: “Football has a unique ability to bring people together and start conversations. We’re incredibly proud to help showcase the 8:56 Foundation on such a visible platform.” KLFC CEO and Captain Mike Clunan commented “This support helps us reach more people, start more conversations, and provide more help to those who need it.” And that matters — because we lose the equivalent of a full football team every single day to suicide in England and Wales. And during the 90 minutes it takes to play a match, one man will die by suicide. The smallest of conversations can be the difference. We (obviously) think the shirts look brilliant and we hope you, the supporters will do too and wear them with pride if you buy one! The Shirts will be available to pre‑order from noon, 5 June at kltown.co.uk and you will. #ItsTimeToTalk
