This November, staff from EEAST (East of England Ambulance Service) are joining forces with staff from Luton & Dunstable Hospital Emergency Department to raise money and awareness for our cause.

We appreciate that this won't be applicable to everyone, but any engagement in supporting our chosen organisation X-4RCE would be hugely appreciated.

For those who haven't heard of them, X-4RCE is a CIC (Community Interest Company) that is based in Luton that provides free, peer-led support for men. They offer peer support groups, one-to-one support, fitness sessions, educational opportunities and volunteering programmes, creating a safe, judgement-free environment where men can talk openly, build connections and support their mental wellbeing. The organisation was founded from lived experience with the aim of ensuring that no man has to face life's struggles alone. [x-4rce.com]

With both EEAST and the ED both working alongside each other, we're hoping to raise as much money and awareness as possible for this fantastic local cause.

As part of our fundraising efforts, we'll also be hosting a charity football match

📅 28th November

⏰ 2:00 PM Kick-Off

Come along, bring your family and friends, cheer on the teams, and help us raise money for a great cause.

Let's make this a month full of questionable moustaches, brave shaves, plenty of banter, and most importantly, support for an organisation doing incredible work in our local community.

Thank you all for your support!
